2. Still in the hunt

The Washington Football Team enters the bye week at 2-5. A mark that would usually have a team with no shot at making the playoffs.

However, in a hapless NFC East, the Washington Football Team is a half game out of first place entering the bye week.

The Giants are one of the worst teams in the NFL. Washington should have beaten them but two Kyle Allen turnovers were absolute killers.

The Cowboys are the NFL’s biggest disappointment, with a clear disconnect between the players and the coaching staff. And the Eagles continue to cycle new players in and out of the lineup due to injury.

All four of the NFC East teams live in glass houses. Whoever comes out with the most glass left wins. It is a very winnable division and a favorable slate of upcoming games should give Washington hope. Despite their poor record, the team still has meaningful football left to play.
