Here is a look back at the Washington Football Team’s victory over the Steelers and a look ahead to Week 14 against the 49ers.

Welcome to our look back at the stunning upset that occurred Monday night in Pittsburgh and the weekly prediction for the Washington Football Team‘s next game — this week it is the 49ers in Glendale, AZ.

Washington Football Team fans are still celebrating the incredible Monday night surprise at Heinz Field, as the Burgundy and Gold sucker-punched the home team, 23-17.

Washington remains tied for first place in the NFC East with the Giants, and the final four games will decide the division champion. It’s still tight between all four teams, although Philadelphia and Dallas have fallen further behind recently. Get ready for four weeks of craziness and pandemonium.

The playoffs.  A wild card berth.  Are we still talking about the playoffs?  Are we really talking about a wild card slot?  Yes, at 5-7, the Washington Football Team is in quite a battle for the division championship.  Our eyes do not deceive us – Washington is truly aiming at a playoff run.

How about a reality check?  According to Tankathon, Washington currently holds the eleventh overall pick in the NFL Draft.  It’s possible that the eventual NFC East champion could end up with a record of 6-10, 7-9, or 8-8.

The remaining schedule for New York and Washington is brutal, and trying to pick the winner now is next to impossible.  Random talk of a division championship is nice, but let’s keep our perspective here.  At the very least, it is nice to be talking about a third straight victory.

Today, we bring you the latest set of grades and we’ll see how the Washington Football Team fared against the Steelers.  We’ll also take a look at the upcoming game against the 49ers.  Can Santa Claus deliver a fourth straight victory during this holiday season?  It’s 2020 and anything can happen.  Let’s get right to the grades, evaluations, commentary, and a prediction for the Glendale, uh, San Francisco game.
