Make life difficult for Teddy Bridgewater

So far this season, you can’t get a hold on which Redskins’ defense will show up each week. They played well against Dallas, while limiting them to 17 points and forcing turnovers throughout the game.

The week before that, they also held the Tennessee Titans to just 17 points. So here’s a stat for you, the Redskins have allowed just 17 points per game over the last two weeks – I know, pretty obvious right?

Nevertheless, the Vikings will have a rookie quarterback under-center in Teddy Bridgewater. He hasn’t played bad this season, but this is another perfect opportunity for defensive coordinator Jim Haslett to be aggressive throughout the game.

He showed multiple blitz packages against Dallas, keeping Tony Romo and company confused. He should be able to do the same against Bridgewater, which could possibly cause a few turnovers.
