4 reasons why the Lions will beat the Redskins in Week 12

The Lions are struggling but draw the ideal opponent in the 1-9 Redskins

As bad as Detroit’s defense is, Washington’s offense is worse

Washington’s offense is futile. There’s no other word for it. The Redskins are terrible at pretty much everything.

Take a look at their rankings through Week 11, courtesy of Team Rankings:

They have not scored more than 17 points in a game since Week 2. They hit 17 last week by scoring touchdowns on the final two drives after falling behind 34-3. Prior to that, the Skins scored 9, 9, 0, 17 (a win over then-winless Miami), 7 and 3.

They’re not even good at kicking. Dustin Hopkins has made just 75 percent of his field goal attempts and has two misses inside 37 yards.
