The Washington Football Team won their third straight game to move to 5-6, and into the NFC Wild Card picture. Washington’s narrow 17-15 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night came right down to the wire.
Seattle had the opportunity to tie the game in the waning moments, but Kendall Fuller intercepted the two-point conversion that could have evened the score.
Washington’s cause was further aided by a penalty on the following kickoff, that negated a successful Seattle onside kick.
Ultimately, Washington were the better team on the night. They dominated the time of possession by over 23 minutes!!
Still, perhaps the way the game ended was the inspiration for the dire nature of these gems.

One path sees these two give it one more shot as a duo and the other most likely sees Carroll replaced or Wilson traded.
