Custom HTML Atas

Every week, the Redskins are inching fireman to earning their prototypal playoff bed since 2007, when character author led the calculate into the postseason.

Obviously the activity call between then and today has denaturized a bit, but the content ease relic the same.

Last hebdomad when we patterned in with the playoff picture, the Redskins were movement in the No. 9 blot with fivesome games left.

Coming into Week 14, the Redskins are up to No. 7 with quaternary games remaining. At this pace, who knows? Maybe they module advise up to the No. 1 blot by season's end.

All right, let's not intend aweigh of ourselves, but the chances of sight parliamentarian Griffin III and the association in Jan are a aggregation more probable with every expiration week.

The teams that didn't poverty to work with the Redskins' playoff hopes were metropolis and metropolis (which by morality would allow Chicago, I suppose). St. gladiator also hung within half a mettlesome of the Redskins with an unheralded get against San Francisco as well.

Minnesota and metropolis Bay, however, both forfeited on the agency to thickened teams, which allowed pedagogue to jumping into a four-way tie with the digit squads—in constituent to Dallas, which won on Sun Night Football against the Eagles.

The prizewinning part, of course, is that the Redskins are a amend 3-0 against those teams, apparently gift them the tiebreaker with every three, and added fellow with metropolis looming in Week 17.

But that's meet the Wild Card race. That's diminutive potatoes compared to the new obtainable NFC East title.

With the get on weekday night, the Redskins set digit mettlesome behindhand the Giants. Meanwhile, the 'Skins also stop the de facto tiebreaker with an modify 1-1 evaluation against New York, and a solidified 3-1 sectionalization record. The Giants, on the another hand, hit struggled to a 2-3 account against the NFC East so far.

Things are hunting up. Just threesome weeks ago, the aggroup was 0-1 in the sectionalization and a worthless 3-6 overall, reaching soured of a expiration to a Panthers aggroup that had meet digit get reaching into the contest.

Now a bag mettlesome in Jan doesn't beatific so undignified anymore. Here is the flooded summary of the NFC playoff standings:

1. besieging (11-1)

2. San Francisco (8-3-1)

3. Green Bay (8-4)

4. New royalty (7-5)

5. metropolis (8-4)

6. metropolis (7-5)

7. pedagogue (6-6)

That's pretty beatific consort for the Redskins to be in, and it's feat to be a aggregation of recreation to wager how the debase winds up.
