The Redskins aren't dead yet in the NFC playoff picture. Technically, the Buccaneers are still alive, too, but Tampa Bay needs an absurd amount of help to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
That's why Monday Night Football in Week 16 is huge for more than just the Lions, who play the Cowboys in Dallas and can clinch a playoff berth with a win. The Packers also will be watching closely.
The only locks in the NFC playoff picture are Dallas as the No. 1 seed and New York, a wild card, as the No, 5 seed.
