In 2020, the Washington football team struggled with a score of 2-7, then won four consecutive games and finally won the NFC East.

In 2021, head coach Ron Rivera's injury severely damaged the team again with a score of 2-6. But after Sunday's 17-15 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, another four-game winning streak at the end of the season became a reality, and another extraordinary rebound in the playoffs suddenly became a reality.

After the fourth kicker of the season - after Dustin Hopkins, Chris Brevitt and Joycely - Washington got it from rookie Brian Johnson with 41 seconds left in the game He took a 48-yard shot to keep his hopes of deja vu.

WFT was helped in the final offense as Las Vegas’ Trevon Moehrig-Woodard intercepted and gave Johnson a chance, then survived two late long passes by Raiders quarterback Derek Carr. In the final game of the game, his Hail Mary attempt was deflected and unfinished near the goal line.

With less than 10 minutes left, WFT maintained a two-point lead and seemed to be planning its iconic long-range attack to achieve another victory. But with 19 and 16 offenses helping it defeat the Buccaneers and Seahawks, the possession of the ball suddenly became a disaster.

After pushing the ball into the Raiders territory in eight games, tight-fitting star Logan Thomas left the game with a calf injury. In the next moment-trying to switch a key No. 3 and No. 4 position, quarterback Taylor Heinicke's throwing arm was scratched by the Las Vegas pass rusher Maxx Crosby. The ball swayed aimlessly and was intercepted by Nate Hobbs in Las Vegas.

From there, the Raiders drove for 43 yards and scored the first lead of the game with a 37-yard field goal from Daniel Carlson with 2:26 left in the game-15-14.

However, Hynek took Washington to the Raiders' 30th game, after subtly handing the ball to receiver Curtis Samuel for the third time. Johnson's foot stood upright on the right, pushing WFT to a 6-6 lead. This is obviously a combination of NFC playoff seats and even the breath of the NFC East. In the next three weeks, it will play with the division-leading Dallas Cowboys. Two games were played.

Although the pre-season cornerstones Chase Young (1.5 sacks) and Ryan Fitzpatrick (6 pass attempts) made little contribution, the drama of 3-0 and December kept Washington alive.

In this physical, old-fashioned game of picking grass from your helmet, Washington seemed to dominate the game early in the fourth quarter. With the help of the Raiders two consecutive defensive free throws, WFT used Thomas' 35-yard catch and Hynek's key three-pointer skid to compete. The quarterback used a side arm sling to push the lead to 14-6, and Antonio Gibson scored a 4-yard touchdown.

The Raiders counterattacked with their own 75-yard kick, and Josh Jacobs' 1-yard run raised the score to 14-12.

After being dominated by defense in the first half, Washington led 7-3.

After playing for a whole year in the first quarter, Washington opened the ball and simply drove 75 yards to lead 7-0. Heinicke made 5 of 5 shots, throwing a 7-yard touchdown, and Thomas interrupted it with a jumping one-handed catch from the back of the end zone.

Although Thomas helped Washington with the return of a three-pointer, it has been working hard to move the ball without receiving a pass, running back JD McKissic and a perfectly healthy Samuel.

The only sign of the Raiders' offense in the first two quarters was their two-minute training. Starting with the two Carl competitions, Las Vegas drove from 20 to 34 in Washington, and then scored a 52-yard field goal from Carlson.

Las Vegas led the NFL with an explosive force of more than 25 yards in the game, but only gained 18 yards of long distance gains in the first half. Washington's defense prevented the Raiders from attacking, erupting for 509 yards and 36 points on Thanksgiving, and the Cowboys in Arlington were upset.
