Redskins Looking To Turn Long Drive Into More Touchdowns

Jay Gruden knows it, Kirk Cousins knows it and so does every single member of the Redskins’ offensive unit.

They must be better in the red zone down the stretch, cashing out long drives with touchdown scores instead of field goals.

Not only are the Redskins currently turning just 40 percent of their appearances inside the 20-yard line into touchdowns, they particularly struggle on third downs in the red zone.

Washington has just four touchdowns on third down red zone attempts, often having to settle for Dustin Hopkins field goal attempts.
