1. Jay Gruden, Redskins

Cards on the table, there’s a good chance that Gruden will watch his Redskins drop to 0-5 on the season with a Sunday matchup scheduled against the New England Patriots, who are coming off another big win over the Buffalo Bills.

Normally, the Patriots are always viewed as a serious contender in the AFC due to the fact that Tom Brady is a lock for the Hall of Fame down the road, but believe it or not, New England’s defense has played a major role in the team’s 2019 success.

Just take a look at last weekend for example when New England gave up their first offensive touchdown of the year to Buffalo, showing just how great the defense has been for the Patriots.

When looking at all of the success surrounding the Patriots, why should Redskins feel confident in their team having a chance in this one?

Between the issues at quarterback on top of the pressure Gruden is facing, Week 5 seems like it will turn into another brutal outing for Washington.

And assuming this turns out to be the exact case, Gruden will most likely find his name on the top of this list once again heading into Week 6, that is if he doesn’t end up getting fired before then.
