Washington Redskins May Have Found Formula for Winning NFC East

Related Topics: NFC East, Washington Redskins

The Washington Redskins embarrassed the Oakland Raiders on Sunday Night Football, to put it kindly.

In the dominant 27-10 victory, the Redskins gained 472 yards on the night, while Oakland mustered a pathetic 128. Thirty-three of those yards came on the Raiders' final drive, with Washington firmly entrenched in prevent defense.

Oakland was fresh off scoring 45 points against the New York Jets in Week 2 and 26 against the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. The Redskins' ability to shut down the high-octane Raiders offense to this degree sent a message to the rest of the NFC East: Don't count us out just yet.
