As we get closer to the end of the NFL regular season, these five head coaches desperately need a win in Week 10.

Week 10 of the NFL season is upon us, and if we’re being completely honest, there is a lot of bad football being played right now.

While the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys stand out as the top franchises in the league right now, almost every other team has its fair share of problems. A few teams specifically have been big disappointments, and their respective head coaches are desperately hoping for a win in Week 10.

There was a positive vibe around the Washington Redskins heading into this season. The team was able to go 9-7 in 2015 and made it to the playoffs. They were able to bring back quarterback Kirk Cousins on a franchise tag for 2016.

Now, the Redskins are struggling and in the middle of the pack in the NFC. The team is currently 4-3-1, but they have a tough upcoming schedule with games against the Vikings, Packers, Cowboys and Cardinals.

This week, Gruden’s team is going against one of the best defenses in the league in Mike Zimmer’s Minnesota Vikings. The Redskins will have a shot, however, because Minnesota’s offense has been falling apart as of late, averaging just 12 points per game in the last three contests.

Gruden’s not on the hot seat yet, but with a loss this week to Minnesota heading into a handful of tough NFC matchups, this season could quickly get out of hand for the Redskins.
