Playing in close games is nothing new to the Washington Redskins. Ten of the Redskins’ 13 games this season have been decided by one possession. Playing with a lead late in a game is also not new to the 2016 edition of the Redskins, but the results haven’t always favored the men wearing burgundy and gold.
Take for example, losses against Dallas in Week 2 and in Detroit, where the Redskins weren’t able to protect leads late in the fourth quarter. Also take for example, victories at Baltimore and New York, where the Redskins' defense came through with vital stops to seal victories.
