NFL Power Rankings, Week 5: Chiefs, Patriots win thrillers to remain perfect

27. Washington Redskins (24)

Before the critics point out that Dwayne Haskins threw three interceptions on Sunday, and the Washington Redskins would be better off switching back to Case Keenum, keep in mind this wasn’t exactly the best situation for the rookie quarterback.

Maybe if Haskins were named the starter earlier in the week to provide extra time to prepare and work with the starters, Sunday’s game would have been a little smoother for the Redskins rookie quarterback.

Instead, Washington suffered one of the most embarrassing losses of the weekend by losing to the New York Giants 24-3, which means all of the talk surrounding Jay Gruden’s job status is going to continue into Week 5.

The pressure was already on Gruden when looking at how the Redskins lost each of their first three games, but that hot seat is about to heat up even more after losing this latest one to the Giants since this seemed like the perfect opportunity to earn that first win of 2019.

Now that Washington went the entire first month of action without a single win, it’s safe to say that winless streak will continue in Week 5 since the Redskins seem like they will have zero chance against the New England Patriots.
