You asked about play-offs.
Here it is, in a nutshell:
Once Chicago beat Atlanta on Sunday night, Washington’s playoff possibilities became amazingly simple: If the Redskins defeat the Giants on Saturday and beat Philadelphia on New Year’s Day, Washington will make the playoffs.
If the Redskins win out and the Giants lose their season finale at Oakland also, Washington will win the NFC East.
If the Redskins win out and Tampa Bay, the Giants, Carolina and Chicago all lose their final two games, Washington will not only win the NFC East — it will have a first-round bye.
If the Redskins defeat the Giants and Dallas loses to Carolina, Atlanta loses to Tampa Bay and Minnesota loses to Baltimore, Washington will qualify for the postseason this weekend.
Even if they lose to the Giants, the Skins are not eliminated from the postseason.
Simple, Huh!
