It all hinges on the Washington Redskins reaching a 10-6 record. (Nick Wass/AP)The Washington Redskins beat the hapless New York Giants, 20-10, on Thanksgiving Day. Not only did that stop the team from an embarrassing three-game losing streak, it kept its playoff hopes alive. It would put them at the mercy of the wild-card race which, if the season ended today, would be won by the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons. A 10-6 record by the Falcons would mean they’d have at least nine conference wins, giving them the tiebreaker over the Redskins.
