Washington would be the No. 6 seed if the playoffs started this weekend and is trying to head to the postseason in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1991-92.
But they have very little room for errors with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on 6-5 and the Minnesota Vikings on 6-6.

TEMPE, Ariz. – There’s a silver lining when the Arizona Cardinals trail in the fourth quarter this season. Johnson’s success will depend on the Cardinals’ defense, but coach Bruce Arians may have realized that he’s gone away from the running game far too early in some losses. Constructed of durable pro-quality materials, this awesome replica is emblazoned with sleek Arizona Cardinals graphics for a game-winning look!
The most entertaining matchup of Week 13 might be Redskins DB Josh Norman vs. Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald, but the most important matchup will undoubtedly be the Redskins defensive line vs. Cardinals RB David Johnson.
Fitz is just seven catches away from becoming No. 3 all-time on the National Football League receptions list. He has run well and caught a third-down pass that went for a first.
And it’s not like his skills are diminishing. It’s anyone’s guess who will prevail on Sunday afternoon at Arizona. He’s also been more aware in the pocket (sacked just six times in last seven games) as he’s spread the ball around to unexpected targets like wide receiver Jamison Crowder and tight end Vernon Davis.
STILL A CHANCE? Mathematically, the Cardinals are still in the hunt for a playoff berth, even though their recent play wouldn’t warrant that.
“We have a feel for what they’re going to try to do but, at the end of the day, if we just play our fundamental rules of our defense, we’ll be OK”, Redskins safety Will Blackmon said.
