Here is a look back at the Washington Football Team’s victory over the 49ers and a look ahead to Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Welcome to our look back at Washington’s victory on Sunday against the defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers and the weekly prediction for the next game – this week it is the Seattle Seahawks at home in Landover.

Washington Football Team fans are still celebrating a four-game winning streak as the Burgundy and Gold sucker-punched a determined San Francisco 49ers team, 23-15.  The WFT leaped to sole possession of first place in the NFC East with three games remaining on the schedule via the win.

The division championship race is tight between all four teams, but Philadelphia and Dallas have fallen further behind.  Both teams could be eliminated from postseason play this weekend.  Get ready for three weeks of craziness and pandemonium.

We continue to talk about the playoffs and wild card berth.  These conversations didn’t occur a month ago.  How about a reality check?  According to Tankathon, Washington currently holds the 19th overall pick in the NFL draft for now.  That reflects Washington’s current status as the division leader.

It’s possible that the eventual NFC East champion could end up with a record of 6-10, 7-9, or 8-8.  The reaming schedule for both 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 fourth straight victory.

Today, we bring you the latest set of grades and we’ll see how the WFT fared against the 49ers.  We’ll also take a look at the upcoming game against the Seahawks.  Can Santa Claus deliver a fifth 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 home game vs. Seattle.
