THE Washington Commanders beat the Tennessee Titans 42-19 on Sunday to enter their bye week with an 8-5 record. With the win, Washington remains the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoff picture.
The surprise Commanders started the season 7-2 before a three-game losing streak dropped them to 7-5. Washington led the NFC East for much of the season until the Eagles surpassed them in Week 10.
With Green Bay’s loss to the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football, Washington is just one game behind the Packers for the No. 6 seed. This could be a critical playoff position, as the No. 7 seed will likely head to Detroit or Philadelphia.
Here’s a look at the NFC playoff picture heading into Week 14.
-
Detroit Lions (12-1)
-
Philadelphia Eagles (10-2)
-
Seattle Seahawks (7-5)
-
Atlanta Falcons (6-6)
-
Minnesota Vikings (10-2)
-
Green Bay Packers (9-4)
-
Washington Commanders (8-5)
In the hunt
What are Washington’s chances of making the playoffs after Sunday’s win? Let’s take a look.
Unless the Commandersos completely collapse, they are in good shape. Washington is off this week and travels to New Orleans to face the Saints in Week 15. This will be Marshon Lattimore’s first game for the Commanders, against his former team.
