Alfred Morris and Robert Griffin III were about 10 years old the last time the Redskins won the NFC East title in 1999. The Redskins defeated the Dallas Cowboys Sunday night at home 28-18 in a game that Morris rushed for 200 yards and three touchdowns and Griffin, still suffering from a leg injury, ran for a score. As a result, the Redskins will host Seattle Jan. 6 at 4:30 p.m. in the first round of the NFL playoffs.

It was the seventh straight victory for the Skins since falling to the Panthers at home in early November.

While there are many Redskins fans in the Triangle area, there are also a lot of Russell Wilson fans. Wilson quarterbacks the Seahawks. I’ve gotta think most of the country will be rooting for the Redskins in this one in part because Seattle is in the playoffs due to a bad replacement official’s call that wrongly gave them a win over Green Bay.
