The Redskins offense is not playing at the top level, but the Redskins are playing slightly better when it comes to the passing game and the rushing attack for the Redskins has had some problems on the year. Look for the Redskins defense to show up in the game as well and slow down the vaunted Panthers rushing attack as the Redskins end up winning the game here at home and bouncing back with a WIN after a poor showing on MNF.
