14. Washington Commanders

Injuries and horrendous defense have once again plagued the Commanders this season. Stop me if you feel like you heard that all of last season.

The Commanders went to London last week and got smacked around by the Indianapolis Colts in the 4th quarter of a game in which they lost Marcus Mariota after just four pass attempts.

Most NFL fan bases don’t know who Athan Kaliakmanis is, but he was given the green light to swing as soon as he got on the field for his first NFL action. And now, with Jayden Daniels working his way back, perhaps the tides will turn for the Commanders in a hurry.

13. Philadelphia Eagles

This season has been an absolute disaster for the Philadelphia Eagles. Their record may state they are 2-2, but the Eagles are pressing the panic button heading into Week 5.

The offense is abysmal, and now they’re dealing with the surprise in-season retirement of right tackle Lane Johnson. How about a little charry on top? They have now traded Cam Jurgens – who was playing out of position anyway – to the Baltimore Ravens.

Jalen Hurts is playing the worst football we’ve seen from him since he was a rookie. Saquon Barkley is nowhere near the version we saw in 2024.

The Eagles’ backs are against the wall, and it’s going to be fascinating to see how they do with another 13 games yet to be played.
