“Which two teams are we most confident in to earn the final two NFC Wild Card spots?”
Mike Florio and Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk discussed this very aspect of NFC Wild Card teams, Tuesday.
Charean Williams did not hesitate, stating confidently, “Well, I am going with Washington.”
I have set the video to go directly to the discussion regarding the NFC Wild Cards (earlier, they had also discussed who would have the AFC home field in the playoffs. Florio took New England, and Williams selected Kansas City).
Both Florio and Williams praised WFT head coach Ron Rivera’s job this 2021 season for maintaining his leadership voice in the locker room, despite Washington having experienced their horrendous 2-6 start.
With wins over Tampa Bay, Carolina, Seattle, and now Las Vegas, Washington has won two at home and two on the road, thus raising awareness around the NFL and NFL media groups.
Washington Wire is certainly growing in confidence as well regarding the WFT’s ability to stay together and fight together down the final five-game NFC East stretch of the schedule.
