LANDOVER, Md. -- Five observations on the Washington Redskins' defense after the 26-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings:
Redskins defensive coordinator Joe Barry said they were going to increase Su’a Cravens’ reps and that’s what happened Sunday. Cravens played a season-high 35 snaps – and even saw time at outside linebacker. That’s where he was aligned when he shot through and recorded a tackle for a loss in the first half. The Redskins had three down linemen, but one of them was Trent Murphy on the right side (with Ryan Kerrigan behind him).
