The move may signal a shift in the Bills organization, realizing they have not adequately surrounded their rookie quarterback <strong>Josh Allen<\/strong> with the playmakers he needs to succeed. <\/p>\n<p>Benjamin was productive as a young receiver with the Panthers, but eventually had a falling out with the organization and his quarterback <strong>Cam Newton<\/strong>, leading him to a new start in Buffalo last season. <\/p>\n<p>In his time with Buffalo, Benjamin accumulated just<em> 39 catches for 571 yards and 2 TDs<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wochit News<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vf92XLvmkRE?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Redskins Sign Vet QB<\/h2>\n<p>With the Redskins on their 3rd QB of the season in <strong>Mark Sanchez<\/strong> after losing <strong>Alex Smith<\/strong> and <strong>Colt McCoy<\/strong> to season ending injuries, it was highly expected that the Redskins would pursue another veteran QB to be Sanchez\u2019s backup. One name that picked up a lot of steam was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/nikes-colin-kaepernick-ad-supported-by-younger-generation\/\">Colin Kaepernick<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With the team in such dire straits, it was believed Kaepernick had a real shot at the job, but instead the Redskins opted to go with <strong>Josh Johnson<\/strong>, a veteran journeyman who will be on his 11th different NFL team in 10 years. Johnson, like Kaepernick, is a strong armed mobile quarterback who creates opportunities with his legs.<\/p>\n<h2>Defense For MVP?<\/h2>\n<p>Defensive tackle <strong>Aaron Donald<\/strong> made history this offseason by becoming the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/sports\/football\/nfl\/los-angeles-rams-aaron-donald-highest-paid-defensive-player-1.4807578\">highest paid defensive player in NFL history<\/a> before being passed up by <strong>Khalil Mack<\/strong>. Donald is earning every bit of that paycheck this season with his play, leading the league in sacks through 13 weeks with 16.5. With 4 games remaining, Donald is just 6 sacks away from tying <strong>Michael Strahan<\/strong>\u2019s record of 22.5, and what is more impressive is that Donald didn&#8217;t have a sack for the first 4 weeks of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously the most important position on the football field is QB, and the MVP award has been dominated by quarterbacks for the last 30 some years, but Donald should at least be in consideration behind front runners <strong>Pat Mahomes<\/strong> and <strong>Drew Brees<\/strong>. The impact of Donald goes beyond his league leading sack total, as he leads the league in QB hurries with <em>52 and tackles for loss with 20 as well as forcing 4 fumble<\/em>s.<\/p>\n<h2>Playoff Picture<\/h2>\n<p>(<em>x<\/em>) &#8211; clinched playoffs   (<em>y<\/em>) &#8211; clinched division   <em>(z<\/em>) &#8211; clinched first round bye<\/p>\n<p>Remaining opponents in parentheses following record<\/p>\n<h3>NFC<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>(<em>x,y<\/em>) <strong>Los Angeles Rams<\/strong> (11-1) : (@ CHI, vs. PHI, @ ARI, vs. SF)<\/li>\n<li><strong>New Orleans Saints<\/strong> (10-2) : (@ TB, @ CAR, vs. PIT, vs. CAR)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicago Bears<\/strong> (8-4) : (vs. LAR, vs. GB, @ SF, @ MIN)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dallas Cowboys<\/strong> (7-5) : (vs. PHI, @ IND, vs. TB, @ NYG)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seattle Seahawks<\/strong> (7-5) : (vs. MIN, @ SF, vs. KC, vs. ARI)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minnesota Vikings<\/strong> (6-5-1) : (@SEA, vs. MIA, @ DET, vs. CHI)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>In The Hunt<\/strong>:  CAR (6-6), PHI (6-6), WAS (6-6), TB (5-7)<\/p>\n<h4>Projected Matchups<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Wild Card<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>#5 SEA @ #4 DAL<br \/>\n#6 MIN @ #3 CHI<\/p>\n<p><strong>Divisional <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lowest Remaining Seed @ #2 NO<br \/>\nHighest Remaining Seed @ #1 LAR        \t<\/p>\n<h2>AFC<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong> (10-2) : (vs. BAL, vs. LAC, @ SEA, vs. OAK)<\/li>\n<li><strong>New England Patriots<\/strong> (9-3) : (@ MIA, @ PIT, vs. BUF, vs. NYJ)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Houston Texans<\/strong> (9-3) : (vs. IND, @ NYJ, @ PHI, vs. JAX)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong> (7-4-1) : (@ OAK, vs. NE, @ NO, vs. CIN)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Los Angeles Chargers<\/strong> (9-3) : ( vs. CIN, @ KC, vs. BAL, @ DEN)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baltimore Ravens<\/strong> (7-5) : (@ KC, vs. TB, @ LAC, vs. CLE)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>In The Hunt:<\/strong> MIA (6-6), IND (6-6), DEN (6-6),TEN (6-6)<\/p>\n<h4>Projected Matchups<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Wild Card <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>#5 LAC @ #4 PIT<br \/>\n#6 BAL @ #3 HOU<\/p>\n<p>Divisional   \tLowest Remaining Seed @ #2 NE<br \/>\n                    \tHighest Remaining Seed @ #1 KC<\/p>\n<h2>Injury Report<\/h2>\n<p>ARI WR Christian Kirk (<em>foot<\/em>) &#8211; <strong>placed on IR<\/strong><br \/>\nATL WR Julio Jones (<em>foot<\/em>) &#8211; <strong>questionable<\/strong><br \/>\nBAL RB Alex Collins (<em>foot<\/em>) &#8211; <strong>placed on IR<\/strong><br \/>\nCAR TE Greg Olsen (<em>foot<\/em>) &#8211; <strong>placed on IR<\/strong><br \/>\nCAR QB Cam Newton (<em>shoulder<\/em>) &#8211; <strong>questionable<\/strong><br \/>\nCHI QB Mitchell Trubisky (<em>shoulder<\/em>) &#8211; <strong>questionable<\/strong><br \/>\nCIN WR A.J.
