ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins have to forget the officials, the 28-point defeat and anything else for that matter. All they need to remember is this: With six games left, they still have a shot at the NFC East title.
Part of the reason for that, of course, is the play of their division brethren. Still, the Redskins enter this week with a chance to be in first place at this time after Sunday. They host the first-place New York Giants (5-5) on Sunday. And they’re tied with the Eagles for second place at 4-6, but the Redskins already have defeated them so if they win they’d be in first place via tiebreakers.
