The Washington Redskins entered the day as the sixth seed in the NFC Playoffs. They exit the day with a record of 6-5-1, and they fell to seventh in the playoff race. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers victory catapulted them ahead of the Redskins, and the tie will now loom large in the last few weeks.
In short, the Redskins just could not deliver in all aspects of the game. In particular, their effort on the defensive side left a lot to be desired.
Carson Palmer had been having a mediocre season to date, but today he endured one of his best performances.
