LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -- Even the margin of victory reminded the playoff-bound Washington Redskins of Sean Taylor."I was on the sideline and guys were talking about the score, and then it hit me -- we won by 21," veteran left tackle Chris Samuels said. "I came in the locker room and I yelled it out, and immediately I just kind of broke down in tears. Because I miss Sean, you know."From disarray and heartache to confidence and dominance, the Redskins will enter the playoffs as the hottest team in the NFC after Sunday's 27-6 win over the Dallas Cowgirls.And with the hottest quarterback. And maybe the hottest running back. And with a defense coming off a game in which it allowed exactly 1 yard rushing.And, perhaps most importantly, on a mission for the teammate who wore No. 21. It's been four weeks since the Redskins attended the funeral of their best defensive player, and they haven't lost since."Win for Sean" was as strong Sunday as it was when the four-game winning streak began Dec. 6, reinforced by everything from the fiery speech given by kick returner Rock Cartwright on the field before the game to the white "21" on the front of the black baseball cap worn by coach Joe Gibbs at his postgame news conference."Play for the guy who's on your jersey -- the guy who's not here, who should be here," Cartwright said he told his teammates. "We know how he played the game. That's why I think guys came out and played so hard."The Redskins (9-7) will travel to Seattle on Saturday for a 4:30 p.m. game, a rematch of a 2005 division playoff won 20-10 by the Seahawks. Washington will be riding the longest current winning streak in the NFC, including three straight victories by double digits. It's a remarkable renaissance for a team that stayed afloat with close, ugly games before losing four straight, the last defeat coming the day before Taylor's funeral."To think four weeks ago, where we were, and where we are tonight, it was a great experience and a great ride," said Gibbs, who has quieted doubters with perhaps the best performance of his Hall of Fame career. "To get in the playoffs was a dream of ours, and four weeks ago, obviously everybody would have said, 'You know, it looks next to impossible."Sunday's game ultimately turned out to be irrelevant -- other than to serve as a possible preview of a postseason game two weeks from now. Minnesota lost 22-19 to Denver and New Orleans fell 33-25 to Chicago, giving Washington the two out-of-town results it needed to make the postseason without having to beat the Cowgirls.

That 4 game stretch for Collins was so magical. Felt like he couldnt miss a throw and honestly felt like we was one of the top teams in the playoffs that year when he was starting
I was 17 and a senior in high school. I still remember the saying the team was using before that 5 game run, “5 in a row or we don’t go!”. I was born in 1990 so didn’t have many seasons to enjoy but this season was definitely in the top 3
As a life long Dallas Cowboys man.... I MISS playing the Washington REDSKINS.
When washington actually packed the stadium with ITS fans not the opposing teams fans!

Yes man!! I’m looking at this game and it doesn’t even feel real! The franchise took a complete 180 turn until I don’t even realize this is FedEx. This goes to show how Snyder ran this franchise into the ground!!!

What Dan Snyder did to this team is despicable
Dude, that completion with 15 seconds to go in the first half, was probably one of the smoothest out route to the sidelines for a clock stop play i ever remember seeing. Lol
I was at this game , it was cold and pouring !!!
I'll never forget how my boys fought after losing Sean Taylor! They really fought for a fallen teammate! Didn't win the Superbowl, but it was special! #21 Forever!
The great thing about Joe Gibbs , was he was about the win needed, and not so about what everyone else was doing.... He was focused.... It's about making, his teams destiny.... Do what's needed, then deal the rest after the game....
Winning this game by 21 pts was so fitting. And Todd Collins will forever be a DC legend. He played his ass off the following week in the Wildcard, but the bottom just finally fell out because the roster was so beat up due to injuries.

Well considering the Redskins have had only 3 playoff berths since 2007, I gotta agree for that month he was a legend and anyone who disagrees doesn't know shit about football!!
Todd Collins' 5 minutes of fame.
We should’ve won a Super Bowl that year!
Todd Collins started with my Buffalo BILLS in 1995 and played there til 97.
I remember watching this game. Feels like it was yesterday. *sigh*
During the early 2000's Dallas kept a 13 win team even a 12 or 11 wins lol it's documented as a redskins fan Romo was close several times...
the commercials are nostalgic #HTTR
Jeezus, these commercials are ponderous.
Thank u for posting this..
So, 3 out of the 4 teams in the NFCE made the playoffs in 2007? The Eagles finished at 8-8...I didn't check out the records of other NFC teams, but if they played 17 games and expanded the number of playoff teams back then like they do today, there's a good chance all 4 NFCE teams would've been in the playoffs.
