30. Washington Redskins (3-11)

Recap: Despite blowing a late lead and losing to the Eagles, the Redskins actually got a career-best performance out of rookie QB Dwayne Haskins, as the Ohio State product continues to show some progression.

Outlook: A loss for the Redskins and a Giants win was huge for Washington’s draft position hopes, however Washington still fell a spot to the No. 4 overall pick in next year’s NFL Draft. A matchup with the equally lowly Giants awaits in Week 16.

29. New York Giants (3-11)

Recap: In what could possibly be Eli Manning’s last home game with the Giants, the veteran showed he still had some magic left. Manning threw for 283 yards and two touchdowns and may have left MetLife Stadium for the last time as a winner after New York’s 36-20 victory over Miami.

Outlook: The win for the Giants was actually bad, as now they are at greater risk of falling out of the No. 2 spot in next year’s draft, which could lead to them missing out on prized pass-rusher, Chase Young. A loss to the Redskins in Week 16 would be ideal.
