Week 7 NFL Power Rankings

Peyton Manning

26. Washington (Last week: 25)

Some shakeups look like they’re in the cards in the nation’s capital, but I don’t think it should be benching Kirk Cousins. Three fourth-quarter picks is tough, but he was trying to make a play late. He’s done enough to earn this gig.

What to know: Kirk Cousins threw three fourth-quarter interceptions, becoming only the second Washington quarterback in the last 25 years with three fourth-quarter picks in one game, according to Elias Sports. Brad Johnson did it in a 15-10 loss at Detroit in 2000.
