If you, as a Washington Commanders fan, weren't paying attention to the other teams in the NFC Playoff Picture, now is the time to start doing so.
Washington's Week 15 loss to the New York Giants (8-5-1) now puts their playoff fate in question. The Commanders hold the final spot in the NFC Playoffs and with it still control their playoff destiny. However, a Week 16 date with the NFC West champion San Francisco 49ers (10-4) gives everyone pause. There's not much wiggle room anymore to manage another loss.
