Who would have thought we'd be going into Week 17 versus Dallas in circumstances like these! You have to go all the way back to 1999 for the last time the Washington Redskins entered Week 17 with the playoffs already clinched, but that is the situation that we find ourselves in this year. 

Hosts Chad and Mark welcome on special guest Redskins DE Ricky Jean-Francois, who talks to us about being an undefeated wrestling champion against his team mates, staying focused on Dallas this week, preparing for the playoffs, and which intriguing start player rookie Preston Smith reminds him of!

All that and more on what is both the last Redskins Capital Connection podcast of 2015, and simultaneously the first of 2016 - you'll hear why! 

Thanks for listening!

After the Redskins convincingly beat the Buffalo Bills in the last regular season game at FedEx Field, they now control their own destiny; a win versus Philadelphia in Week 16 will see Washington crowned the 2015 NFC East champions!

Joining Hosts Chad and Mark this week is none other than Marc Sessler from the Around the NFL podcast, as well as his work on NFL.com. Hear Marc talk about why Kirk Cousins and the Redskins can go into Philadelphia and win, and what that means for this team and their identity. We also talk about DeSean Jackson's impact, whether or not Jordan Reed will make the pro bowl, and how Scot McCloughan has changed the dynamic of this team in his first year. 

All that and much more on this week's edition of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast!

Whilst this win doesn't exactly make the Washington Redskins the new Mad Maxs, Kirk Cousins and his team did come out of Chicago with a vital road win! 

To talk about the win, as well as the week ahead against Buffalo as well as other happenings around Redskins park, hosts Chad and Mark are joined by Chris Russell this week. Together we talk in depth about the usage of Darrel Young, the explosiveness of Jordan Reed, and the playoff picture in the NFC East.

In one word, the Week 13 game against the Dallas Cowboys was ugly. It was a game the Redskins needed to win, and just like they've done all too often, they crapped the bed on Prime Time TV. 

Hosts Chad and Mark are joined by CSN's Redskins Insider Rich Tandler, who helps us make sense of just what in the world went wrong for the Redskins who went down 19-16 to the Matt Cassel led Cowboys. 

We also announce the winner of our podcast competition, look ahead to the Week 14 game vs Chicago, and more!

As always, thanks for listening, and check out www.redskinscapitalconnection.com!

Well, would you look at that! The Washington Redskins are atop the NFC East division leaderboard on the 1st day of December. 

Hosts Chad and Mark discuss what the Redskins now have to do to stay at the top of the division and keep the playoff dream alive, as well as talking about Kirk Cousins, DeSean Jackson, the New York Giants win and the upcoming Dallas Cowboys game.

To do all this, we've once again dragooned Redskins beat reporter and friend of the show Michael Phillips from the Richmond Times Dispatch on to help us get our collective heads around the big questions, such as 'is Kirk Cousins a franchise quarterback?' 

Also, this is the last week to enter our competition to win a Redskins shirt or hat, so make sure you check out our competition on RedskinsCapitalConnection.com!
