Washington Commanders
Several fans feared a regression to reality for the Washington Commanders after they took the NFL world by storm last season by reaching the NFC Championship game in Jayden Daniels's rookie season. Washington now sits at 3-4, with a brutal stretch of games over the next five weeks that includes the Chiefs, Seahawks, Lions, and Broncos. The Commanders must be careful, or they could let this next stretch end their entire season.

Houston Texans
The regression of quarterback C.J. Stroud can no longer be described as just a bad stretch. For over a year now, Stroud has not looked even close to the player he was as a rookie under former offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. Now sitting at 2-4, the Texans have a lot to figure out over the next ten weeks.

Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders could not scrape across a single point in Sunday's 31-0 blowout loss to the Chiefs in Arrowhead. The Pete Carroll era in Vegas has gotten off to a shaky start. Geno Smith looks nowhere close to the player he was in Seattle over the last couple of seasons, and selecting Ashton Jeanty sixth overall in this year's draft looks more and more questionable by the week. Can this team turn things around and show promise over the next ten weeks?
Los Angeles Chargers
The past four weeks have not been kind to the LA Chargers, as they have lost three of their last four games, with their lone win coming in a tight 29-27 victory over the lowly Dolphins. Jim Harbaugh's squad has appeared to hit a wall in the early portion of the season. The defense does not look as stout as it did following their 3-0 start. There is still plenty of time, but Justin Herbert and company must make the proper adjustments if they want to do anything relevant this season.
Miami Dolphins
The fact that Mike McDaniel still has a job is shocking. The Miami Dolphins continue to struggle through the first seven weeks of the season, dropping to 1-6 and getting embarrassed by the Cleveland Browns. McDaniel's post-game press conferences get more and more painful to watch by the week, and Tua Tagovailoa continues to regress in this offense. Not many teams appear more directionless than the Miami Dolphins in 2025.
