That's exactly where the Washington Redskins find themselves, now in the driver's seat in the NFC East into the month of December after a 20-14 victory Sunday over the New York Giants in front of 77,367 fans at FedExField.

Washington, which moves to 5-6 and surpasses its win total from a year ago, dominated the game from start to finish, using a particularly stout performance from its defense, which picked off Giants quarterback Eli Manning three times and got two Ryan Kerrigan sacks.
