Last week: 17 (+5)

Record: 3-3

The Redskins might be a little underrated right now. They haven’t lost any of their 3 games by more than a touchdown and in all 3 losses, they lost a significant player to injury mid game who is now healthy. Against St. Louis, they lost top cornerback Josh Wilson. Against Cincinnati, they lost top offensive lineman Trent Williams. Against Atlanta, they lost starting quarterback Robert Griffin. With the exception of maybe Cincinnati, none of those are bad teams either.

They could definitely go in New York and beat the Giants in a bad spot for the Giants next week, which would guarantee them at least a share of the division lead 7 weeks into the season. The Giants are the best team in the division, for now, but it’s incredibly wide open. One team every year goes from 5 wins or fewer to the playoffs and the Redskins are definitely a candidate after knocking off Minnesota, previously the favorite to be that team. Robert Griffin has really revitalized this team.
