  1. Minnesota Vikings- The Minnesota Viking had a 8-8 record at the end of the season. At the beginning of the year the seemed set for the playoff with on of the best defenses in the league. Unfortunately the team was plagued with injuries on both the defense and the offense. The biggest lost to the Viking was the loss of their running back Adrian Peterson.

  2. Denver Broncos - The Denver Broncos had just won the super bowl last year with their elite defense. This year they just missed a chance at getting into the playoff after being beat by the Kansas city Chiefs. If they can work out their offensive situation their is a chance that they could go to the playoffs next year if they can get a good quarterback.

  3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers almost made it to the playoffs. If the Dallas Cowboys had won their last game against the Philadelphia Eagles the would have made it. If the Bucs can keep their team healthy next year and maybe improve their running game their is a good chance they will make it into the playoffs next year.

  4. Tennessee Titans- The Titan are another team that just missed the playoffs. They are playing in one of the weakest division in the NFL. If they can keep their players healthy and maybe get some better defensive players they could easily make it to the playoffs next year.

  5. Arizona Cardinals- The Arizona Cardinals were favorites to go to the superbowl at the beginning of the season. Yet, they finished the season 7-8-1. The had the 2nd overall defense and the 9th overall offense so why didn’t they go to the playoffs. The Cardinal were hurt by inconsistent play on both sides of the ball and a terrible special teams. The Cardinals would often lose by a field goal because their current kicker never come through when they need him.

  6. Washington Redskins- The Redskins are this low on the list because of the division they play in. With the resurging Cowboys and the New York giants. The Redskins have issue all around like the Cardinals. The offense lacks a great running game. The defense can’t pressure the QB very well. The Redskins seem to always crack under pressure. Whenever they need to win a game they always seem to find ways to lose.
