Not bad for a team ranked among the bottom fourth of the league to begin the season.
The Washington Redskins not only surprised the entire league with their seven-game win streak to end the regular season, but they also surprised the league’s various experts and analysts charged with putting together their weekly NFL Power Rankings.
It took a while for some of them to accept the Redskins as a Top-10 team throughout their current seven-game winning streak. But when the dust settled on the 2012 regular season, Washington was right where it deserved to be.
Here’s where the Redskins fall in the final 2012 Power Rankings Roundup (and their jump from the preseason rankings):
Preseason: 25th
End of season:

Preseason: 24th

The Redskins beat Tampa Bay in the playoffs. You don’t remember the Sean Taylor fumble return for a touchdown. . .I guess not.

They beat Tampa Bay in the first round of the playoffs in 2005 when they went as a wildcard and played in Tampa Bay. Article was talking about 1999 when they won the division and had their only home playoff game since 1991 SB season.

Yeah…have to admit I was leaving them for dead at 3-6 going into the meat of their schedule. Thought the ‘Skins were staring at another 6-10 season, at best. It feels good to be wrong…like when I thought the Colts were crazy for passing on Ryan Leaf. What a year! Hail to the Redskins!
