Redskins seek return to balanced offense against Bears
Even with Kirk Cousins putting up franchise-record numbers through the air, the Washington Redskins won’t be able to just pass their way to the playoffs.
The offense has carried Washington much of the season but is in danger of getting bottled up if it’s as one-dimensional Saturday at the Chicago Bears as it was in a deflating loss to the Carolina Panthers. With postseason hopes hanging in the balance after losing three of four, coach Jay Gruden knows it’s crucial to get the running game going and not resorting to a pass-early, pass-often offense.
