18.) Washington Redskins (3-4)
The Redskins were able to pull off a great comeback in Week 7 against the Buccaneers for their third win of the season. Kirk Cousins played one of his better games of the season in the win, as he totaled 317 passing yards and three passing touchdowns. A 24-point second half fueled the win and helped the Redskins avoid an embarrassing loss at home.
17.) Indianapolis Colts (3-4)
A familiar problem for the Colts appeared in Week 7, as they were unable to stop the run. The one difference between this season and last season was that Andrew Luck used to be able to still lead the Colts’ offense to victory despite a poor run defense. This season, Luck just doesn’t seem like himself, as a 333-yard passing performance still couldn’t get the Colts a win at home against a Saints team that hasn’t been all that impressive this season.
16.) New Orleans Saints (3-4)
After an awful start to the season, the Saints are finally beginning to march towards the .500 mark after a win against the Colts. Drew Brees didn’t play great in the win, but the Saints’ running game was awesome in the win, as Mark Ingram totaled 143 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. As a team, the Saints totaled three rushing touchdowns, as a balanced attack worked well in Week 7.
