Washington leads the NFL in rushing yards (558) and 20-yard rushes (5). The team also ranks third in yards per carry (4.4), second in rushing attempts (126) and second in total offensive plays run (284).
These incredible rushing numbers and a fourth ranked third down conversion rate of 46.8 percent have allowed the Redskins to possess the ball for an average of 36:19 minutes per game, which is the best time of possession average in the NFL by over two minutes.
So first place in time of possession is good, right? How good though? Well for starters, they have held the ball for about six minutes longer and 20 percent more than the NFL average this season.
