The Washington Redskins have made plenty of their own excitement over the last few weeks while hiring a head coach and shuffling around the front office.
But some interesting Redskins connections have been in the postseason to varying results.
Former franchise quarterback Kirk Cousins, for example, led his Minnesota Vikings to a win over the New Orleans Saints before bowing out of the playoffs during a 27-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
There, Cousins went 21 of 29 but for just 172 yards with one score and a pick during the blowout on the road.
Elsewhere, for those Redskins fans who happened to take a rooting interest in the Baltimore Ravens for whatever reason — sorry. The Lamar Jackson-led Ravens choked at home against the Tennessee Titans in a 28-12 loss despite Jackson’s 365 passing yards and 143 rushing yards.
Redskins fans are free to cheer for whoever at this point, whether it’s Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers or somebody else, but two of the notable connections are now out.
