The thrilling 30-24 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons clinched Washington's first postseason appearance since the 2020 season, marking just their seventh in 32 years. This win also notched their first 11-win season since 1991, igniting hope for a long-awaited 12-win finish if they can defeat the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Achieving 12 wins would be a notable milestone for the franchise, a feat not accomplished since before the team's last Super Bowl appearance.
Coach Dan Quinn emphasized maintaining the No. 6 seed in the NFC by actively competing and not resting starters against the Dallas Cowboys. He noted that this strategic decision would not only empower the team but also give star receiver Terry McLaurin an opportunity to break the franchise record for touchdown catches in a season. McLaurin’s potential 13th touchdown would become a historic achievement amidst a rigorous and competitive landscape in the league.
