The Washington Redskins gave their fans plenty for which to be thankful over the past few days.

Washington went into Dallas on Thursday and defeated its rival Cowboys 38-31 in a nationally-televised, Thanksgiving Day game. It was the second straight win for the Redskins (5-6), who are still in the hunt for a playoff spot as the season winds down.

The first half of Thursday’s game against the Cowboys (5-6) couldn’t have gone much better. Dallas turned the ball over two times – a lost fumble and an interception – and the Washington offense was clicking on all ... Read More

Against the Eagles, however, the Redskins allowed just 251 yards, including a season-low 177 yards passing to rookie quarterback Nick Foles, who was ... Read More
