2016 NFL Week 17 Recap

LANDOVER, MD - JANUARY 01: Quarterback Kirk Cousins #8 of the Washington Redskins is sacked by defensive back Leon Hall #25 and outside linebacker Devon Kennard #59 of the New York Giants in the third quarter at FedExField on January 1, 2017 in Landover, Maryland. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)
Giants 19
Redskins 10 Straight up — if the Redskins get outrushed 161-38, lose the turnover battle 3-0, and get Kirk Cousins sacked four times at home in a win-and-in playoff scenario — they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Giants enter the postseason having won nine of their last 11 games and sporting a 5-0 road playoff record since 2007. Forget the Patriots … nobody wants to see New York right now.
