The Washington Redskins managed to gut out a 24-21 win over the Chicago Bears Sunday, keeping the team afloat atop the woeful NFC East.
The win moves Washington to 6-7 and into a tie with the Philadelphia Eagles. If the New York Giants, who are currently 5-7, win on Monday night, they'll be in on the tying action as well. However, Washington will remain on top because of tiebreaking procedures.
