Here is a look back at the final Washington Football Team contest of the 2020 season, a playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and a look back at the 2020 season.

The 2020 season is over.  What a ride it has been these last two months.  A team that was on the brink of finishing last in the NFC East went on a tear and won the division last week.  Fans were hoping for a playoff victory on Saturday, but the Washington Football Team came up just a bit short of potentially sending the game into overtime.

Welcome to our look back at Washington’s final game of the 2020 roller coaster affair and an examination of the 2020 season. Washington is now locked into the 19th overall pick in the NFL draft in the 2021 NFL draft.  Before getting ahead of ourselves, let’s take a look at the game and the season.

Today, we bring you the final set of 2020 grades and we’ll see how the WFT fared against the Buccaneers.  You will see a set of grades for the game and another set of grades for the season.  We will also make a prediction for the 2021 season.

Let’s get right to the grades, evaluations, commentary, and what we think may happen in 2021.
