That season, Washington received defensive scores from Vernon Dean (two interception returns), Monte Coleman (interception return), Darrell Green (interception return), Darryl Grant (fumble return) and Curtis Jordan (fumble return). The team also had six defensive touchdowns in 1971 and 1973.

Offense:

• Quarterback Robert Griffin III throwing for 300 yards for the fourth time in a season for the first time in his career. Griffin III has had three 300-yard passing games in both 2012 and the first four games of 2013.

• Tight end Jordan Reed (34 receptions) catching four passes to surpass Stephen Alexander (37 in 1998) and Chris Cooley (37 in 2004) for most receptions in a season by a Redskins rookie tight end. Reed's 388 yards are already the team record for receiving yards by a rookie tight end.

• Reed gaining 100 receiving yards to join Jerry Smith (3 in 1967, 2 in 1968) as the only Redskins tight ends with multiple 100-yard games in a single season.
