As of this week:

Redskins: #1 Defense w/o Champ, 95 points allowed
Broncos: #2 Defense with Champ, 100 points allowed

Since they have been flip-flopping in the ratings, I'll call it even.

Portis: 593 yards in 6 games: 98.83 average
Griffen as feature back: 295 yards in 4 games
Droughns as feature back: 479 yards in 3 games
Combined: 774 yards in 7 games: 110.57 average

Slight edge to Denver.

That said, Portis is just getting acclimated to the new system and should be more consistent the rest of the year. Plus, if our passing game had a pulse, we would probably have actually built decent leads in a couple games, and would have run more in the second half, so it would probably be more even.
Really, I think both teams made out well and got what they wanted. This is what I thought when the trade was made, and it appears to hold true almost halfway through the season.
