NFL Power Rankings: Washington Redskins and Teams Who Will Hit Rock Bottom

Just when the Washington Redskins thought things couldn't get any worse, they have.

Three of the team's offensive starters are out for the season, LT Trent Williams is out at least another week or two, while Santana Moss will miss at least five weeks.

Without Santana Moss, Trent Williams, Chris Cooley, Kory Lichtensteiger and Tim Hightower, this team stands absolutely no chance of knocking off the Buffalo Bills in Toronto this weekend.

John Beck didn't look exceptional in his first start, but he looked capable of managing an offense. He threw just one interception, however, it came on a bad route from Leonard Hankerson. He did fumble the ball once as well.

Unfortunately, the defense was torched by Cam Newton. The Redskins defense gave up 175 yards rushing, while also conceding 256 yards passing to Killa Cam.

That's not going to cut it, especially against the Buffalo Bills. Fred Jackson has been explosive this year and will look to explode against the Washington defense.

Fitzpatrick has been extremely effective this season, and he should have no problem picking apart the Redskins secondary. DeAngelo Hall is allowing 75 percent of passes into his coverage to be completed this year. Stevie Johnson should be able to pick up a ton of yards and catches against Hall.

This is going to be a long game for fans of the Burgundy and Gold.

Arizona Cardinals

The worst time to play the Baltimore Ravens is after they lose.

The Ravens are going to be furious after their Monday night debacle against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and will take it out on the Cardinals.

Arizona has been horrible this season. They have just one victory, and the Kevin Kolb era hasn't gotten off to a very good start. They might not be willing to admit the mistake yet, but they certainly need Kolb to be better than he has been.

To make matters worse, Beanie Wells is beat up, even though he could still play this week.

Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are going to have their team hyped when Arizona rolls into M&T Bank Stadium for this game. Don't expect Ray Rice to have another bad game. This one will quickly turn into a blowout as Rice and Joe Flacco both have big days against a soft Arizona defense.

St. Louis Rams

Did anyone watch that embarrassing Sunday night game between the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints?

That wasn't pretty, and this game will be just as bad.

The Saints are looking to make a statement again and will blow out the Rams in this game.

St. Louis has yet to win a game after coming in with high hopes for this season. They will be 0-7 after this game, and their season will be all but over.

The Rams can't stop anyone on the ground, so expect Mark Ingram, Darren Sproles and Pierre Thomas to get plenty of opportunities to run up the score in this one.

Sam Bradford could miss his second straight game, which leaves the Rams with absolutely no chance of coming away with a victory. Steven Jackson has only topped the 100-yard mark once this year, and new WR Brandon Lloyd is still learning the offense.

There aren't many positive things to talk about in St. Louis right now.

Sorry Rams fans. Maybe you can land Andrew Luck next April.
