Five least likely NFL teams to win the Super Bowl

5. Washington

This is one disaster of a franchise right now. The repercussions of the massive trade they made to move up and acquire Robert Griffin III continue to echo through a team which seems to be completely unable to get out of their own way.

Heck, even the wife of the general manager can’t stop from doing stupid crap. It’s a franchise that is utterly dysfunctional from top to bottom, and it’s even poured out to significant others.

It starts at the top and Dan Snyder’s refusal to bend about anything. Forget the fact that Jay Gruden seems to have taken a job where he had no plan to use the then-starting quarterback in a coherent and logical manner. At this point, the damage has been done to Griffin and it’s clear he isn’t succeeding anywhere near this team, if ever.

Snyder remains enamored at the least or convinced in the worst case, that Griffin is salvageable in Washington. Meanwhile, his head coach is leaving Griffin in games until he gets hurt, in a move that seemed personal, according to one NFL head coach, via Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman.

The moment Griffin was too concussed to play in Preseason Week 3, Gruden did what he’s always wanted to do and named Kirk Cousins ‘Captain Mediocrity’—no, sorry, that’s ‘starting quarterback.’

We’ve seen this episode and it ends in a barrage of Colt McCoy passes and tears.

We haven’t even gotten into the schedule, the shoddy secondary and atrocious offensive line. Those things alone could have landed this team on the list.

But the constant chaos is a drain on everyone involved and makes all of the issues already there even bigger and more destructive.

Maybe Cousins looks better the third time out. Maybe Gruden’s scheme—to replicate Andy Dalton minus the red hair—will work with Cousins. Maybe the rest of the division will collapse, while with Washington everything goes right.

Maybe purple unicorns will show up at halftime during opening weekend too.

That seems about as likely.
