Head coach Matt Rhule has just a 10-20 record through his first 30 games in the NFL. He has made several changes at quarterback and even fired his offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, but has been unable to find solutions. The Carolina Panthers enter Week 18 on a six-game losing streak.
#13 - Washington Football Team (6-10)
Last week: #11
Next week: vs. New York Giants
The Washington Football Team continues to plummet down the Power Rankings. They have an active four-game losing streak, which immediately followed a previous four-game winning streak. They will likely use the upcoming offseason to evaluate their quarterback situation, including Taylor Heinicke's future.
