A beautiful win. What's surprising is why Dallas wouldn't employ a max protect scheme again, given Bledsoe's tendencies. Presumably, they wanted to take advantage of the Redskins' banged-up secondary.

The Skins have now maneuvered into the second wild card spot and control their own destiny. Their chance to win the division likely came to an end when the Chiefs fell to Tiki Barber's 220 yards and the rest of the G-men's efforts. What also hurt was the prior week when the Giants slipped past the Eagles in overtime. If the Giants had lost to the Eagles, and the Skins continue running the table, they would have had the divisional record tiebreaker over the Giants at the end of the season.

As it is, the Skins still have to remain supremely focused against an extremely talented Giants team with two potent defensive ends, a spy as the 3rd QB, and an explosive offense.
