12 Teams That Will Make The NFL Playoffs This Year And Why

10. Washington Redskins

RGIIIPlayers to Watch: Robert Griffin III, Alfred Morris, Pierre Garcon, Fred Davis, London Fletcher, Brian Orakpo One of the most electrifying, yet humble young players in the NFL, Robert Griffin III, riveted Landover, MD last year with his spectacular performances on the field and his now signature TD celebration (pictured above). He's another one of the QBs coming out of a class that may indeed rival the 1983 QB class. Unfortunately, he suffered unnecessary injuries in last year's playoffs and will have the highest mountain to climb to make the comeback we all want to see. Many wonder if he can transform into a pocket QB. I argue that he is already good enough to remain dangerous in the pocket. According to recent tweets, RG3 completed 22 of 23 passes in training camp in 7-on-7 drills. Those stats should definitely excite Redskins fans. If Alfred Morris can have an impactful season, as well, the Redskins, with coach Shanahan at the helm, should have no problem securing the third spot in the NFC over the troublesome Cowboys, faltering Giants, and completely-lost-in-a-void-somewhere Eagles. Expect the Redskins to finish 11-5, and barring injuries to RG3, expect him to finish third in the NFC in passing.

Hello there! I'm a graduate of FGCU (A.K.A. Dunk City!) I'm currently working on an M.A. in English Literature at Hofstra University. I'd like to eventually pursue either a M.S. in Business Administration or a Ph.D in Old English and Medieval Literature. I do thoroughly enjoy studying Old English for some mysterious reason. In my spare time, I try to keep up with well over a dozen television shows simultaneously, I frequent the local theaters, and I am an avid sports or FPS video gamer. Some of my favorite TV shows include: Dexter, The Office, X-Files, Homeland, and The Sopranos. Some of my favorite films include: The Usual Suspects, Donnie Darko, American Beauty, Fight Club, and Goodfellas.
