Wildcard Watch Simulation: Week 16 – Must Beat Dallas Edition

With Tuesday’s loss to Philadelphia, the WFT’s remaining chances to make the playoffs are quickly evaporating. At 6-8, and facing competition from four teams with better records for two remaining wildcard playoff spots, the Football Team no longer has any room for error. To make the playoffs they will have to win all of their remaining games and will most likely need help from other teams as well.

Their chances of pulling it off are not likely to be helped much this week by the COVID pandemic, which to this point has ravaged Washington’s roster, while largely sparing those of its main competitors in the wildcard race.
