Washington - Dallas live on Channel4 right now.
Into the second half, currently 14 - 7 Redskins, still anyone's game, winner gets the play-off spot.

UPDATE : 28 - 18 Redskins win, and go to the play-offs
Big interception in the final quarter just as Dallas looked to be getting some momentum to get back into the game. The turnover eventually led to a touchdown which put the game beyond the Cowboys.
Redskins will have to up their game to progress further, but they are a team in rebuild mode, with several rookies in significant positions, so even getting this far bodes well for the future.

Well Who'd have thunk it!! Redskins win their division and head to the playoffs on the back of 7 straight wins. Of course RGIII will get most headlines but a great rookie year for Alfred Morris too!! And lets not overlook the contribution of another rookie QB Kirk Cousins who came in briefly when RGIII got injured and kept the run going, as well as the veteran London Fletcher who continues to make big plays on Defence.The rebuilding must be getting quicker results than either Shanahan or owner Dan Snyder could have hoped.

Hail To The Redkins!!!

today is black monday in the nfl where teams fire head coaches and/or general managers and several teams have unsurprisingly done this. including the likes of kansas city, philadelphia, arizona and san diego, there has been a bit of a surprising firing, despite a 10-6 record and narrowingly missing out on the playoffs. the chicago bears have fired head coach lovie smith after 9 years in charge. for me not a surprise as even though lovie has got us 2 back to back divisonal titles and a superbowl appearance in 2007 losing to the indianapolis colts. the bears havent made the playoffs for 5 out of the last 6 seasons.

think 2013 will be a transitional season for the bears especially now ive seen who the bears are playing in 2013-2014 season

playoffs start tonight!!!!! both games on skysports from 9pm sky sports1

9pm houson v cincinatti
1am green bay v minnesota

Redskins have blown a 14 point lead and now trail by 10 with a minute left, I think its safe to say it's all over.

They left RGIII on the field with his dodgy knee for too long, letting the Seahawks score 21 points unanswered.

Still think we are well placed for the coming seasons with the squad there, but there will be some criticism about the way they lost this game.

Divisional Play offs weekend

Saturday, Jan. 12
Baltimore Ravens at Denver Broncos (AFC No. 1)
Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers (NFC No. 2)

Sunday, Jan. 13
Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons (NFC No. 1)
Houston Texans at New England Patriots (AFC No. 2)

This year's favourite Atlanta take on Seattle who can from behind to beat Washington last week.

49's and New England still in the mix..

i think the ATL-Seattle game is going to be a shootout. Falcons ain't good against the run. Seattle have a good secondary but they haven't done well against the Falcons in the past and with basically 3 no1 receivers in White, Gonzalez and Jones, plus the screen game with Rodgers i don't think they'll stop that offence.

Spoiler alert : first play-off results in
