LANDOVER — Moments after the Washington Redskins’ season came to an end, the sting still so fresh from a 35-18 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round on Sunday at FedEx Field, Ricky Jean Francois made his way around the locker room.
He stopped just a little bit longer to chat with players such as inside linebackers Will Compton and Mason Foster and thanked them for stepping up and contributing in key roles this season when injuries and inefficient play hampered the position.
RJean Francois also reminded Compton, Foster and others that there was plenty for this team to be proud of, even if it seemed impossible to see the positive in Sunday’s outcome.
