ASHBURN, Va. -- Five observations on the Washington Redskins' offense after Sunday's 44-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers:
The inability to run the ball, once again, was a main culprit for the offensive woes. The turnovers, obviously, were the big killer, but they had been better in that area entering the game (they were even in differential). But they’ve only run the ball well once in the past six games. During that span, they’ve finished one game -- one! -- averaging more than 2.63 yards per carry. For a team that was built to run the ball -- and wanted to run the ball -- that’s a major problem.
