Washington Redskins: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#17)

Last week: 17 (+0)

Record: 3-4

This team is awfully snakebitten. They’ve lost 4 games all by a touchdown or fewer and all games in which they lost significant players to injury. Week 2, they lost Josh Wilson, Brian Orakpo, and Adam Carriker in a loss to St. Louis. In their loss to Cincinnati, they lost Trent Williams. In their loss to Atlanta, they lost Robert Griffin and last week they lost Fred Davis. Griffin, Wilson, and Williams are back, but the other 3 are done for the year. Pierre Garcon has barely played. Jammal Brown hasn’t played. Brandon Meriweather hasn’t played. Now London Fletcher could miss next week with a combination of hamstring problems and a concussion, which would snap his 231 consecutive games streak.
