The Redskins(5-6) defeated the New York Giants on Thanksgiving night to get a win, and keep their slim chances at the playoffs alive. They also got help from Cowboys and Lions losses on Thursday. If the Redskins want a shot at their Week 17 game meaning something, they will need to run the board the rest of the season.
The Redskins are currently the 11th seed in the NFC and are behind the 4 division leaders(Eagles, Vikings, Saints, Rams), along with the Panthers, Falcons, Seahawks, Lions, Packers, and Cowboys.
