31. Washington Redskins (31)

No team has been as dysfunctional in recent seasons as the Washington Redskins have. It’s unfortunate too because they seemed to have done really well this offseason in the draft. Needing a quarterback, they were able to land Dwayne Haskins without moving up and then did make a move near the end of the first to bring in edge rusher Montez Sweat.

They landed another promising rookie later in Terry McLaurin, who has been their best offensive weapon this season. However, their main addition hasn’t stood out in a good way just yet. Haskins has taken over under center but is struggling to move the ball consistently.

Not all of that is his fault. The team around him is bad and he came into the league with just over a year’s worth of starting experience. Most scouts felt he needed time but due to the Redskins struggles, he was thrown into the fire too quickly.

On Sunday, they were smoked by the New York Jets and the fans are showing they’ve had enough. Not only were there many empty seats but a chant of “sell the team” went viral.

Dan Snyder isn’t likely to cave and get rid of the franchise but the fans can’t be blamed for losing their patience with him. This once-proud franchise has hit a depressing low and it’s hard to blame anyone but Snyder for that.
