Four Washington Football Team players deserving game balls vs. 49ers
Final Thoughts
Here is a list of players who receive an honorable mention this week: Kendall Fuller, J.D. McKissic, Daron Payne, Montez Sweat, Peyton Barber, Jonathan Allen, Logan Thomas, Cole Holcomb, and Ronald Darby. These players made it a total team victory and the defense was spectacular throughout the game.
Washington is still in a heated battle for the division title and a playoff berth, but there is a small amount of breathing room. It could come down to the final week. Washington’s path to the playoffs also includes the possibility of a wild card slot. The coaches and players obviously prefer to win the division, but talking about a wild card game simply wasn’t possible a month ago. It’s amazing what a four-game winning streak can do for a team down the stretch.
It sure would be nice to continue this duty of awarding game balls week after week. It’s a lot of fun, but it is also fun to watch good solid Washington football once again after many years of futility. Taking down the defending NFC champion on the road is impressive, but the next game is even tougher. Celebrations need to be short-lived and the focus should squarely be on the Seattle Seahawks this week.
The Week 14 awards are in the books and we hope to do this again next week.
