NFL Dawgs Week 16: Pursuit Of Perfection Ends, Rookies Continue to Shine

Week 16 saw the Panthers' perfect season snuffed out in Atlanta, while the Huskies' crop of rookies continue their impressive season. Check it out in NFL Dawgs!

The Washington Redskins (8-7) claimed the watered-down NFC East crown on Saturday with a road win over their rival Philadelphia Eagles (6-9) 38-24. Two former Huskies aided the victorious Redskins on defense, veteran Dashon Goldson and Mason Foster, a player who has come into his own in recent weeks after finally being given a shot in Washington.

The duo combined for double-digit tackles for the third consecutive week to lead a defense largely responsible for the Redskins' second-half turnaround.
