Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Wild Card round of the playoffs was a tough pill to swallow for the Washington Redskins players.

But after the game, many of their thoughts immediately turned to the Redskins fans and their support throughout the magical 2012 season — one in which Washington, once at 3-6, won seven-straight games to claim its first NFC East championship since 1999.

Many players took to Twitter to reflect on the season, the fans and the future of the team, including:

Tight end Niles Paul:

I appreciate all the love & support we got from our fans this year. You guys stuck with us even when every one else counted us out #HTTR—

The Washington Redskins’ Goal No. 1 is accomplished.

The team claimed its first NFC East title late since 1999 Sunday night with its 28-18 win over the Dallas Cowboys. When they got back into their locker room, they found their NFC East Division Champions hats waiting for them.

But, as head coach Mike Shanahan has reiterated the past few weeks, only one team is happy at the end of the season. A divisional title off the heels of seven straight wins is nice, but it won’t mean anything if it doesn’t translate into a Super Bowl ring at season’s end.

For early this morning and into the day, however, the Redskins can celebrate their victory over the Cowboys. Then it’s on to the Seattle Seahawks, the Redskins’ opponent in Sunday’s playoff matchup at FedExField.

Here’s a collection of the Redskins players celebrating Sunday night’s win via Twitter:

Kai Forbath needs your help.

The Washington Redskins kicker is trying to eclipse 15,000 Twitter followers, and he’s willing to reward a lucky fan for their troubles.

Forbath said he will sign and send the first cleat he ever used with the Redskins this season (see photo above) to the first person to correctly answer a trivia question once he reaches the 15,000-follower plateau.

The first-year kicker has a way to go — he’s currently around 8,500 followers — but I’m willing to bet that, with continued success on the field, Forbath will see that number increase as quickly as he’s hoping.

Forbath has shined this season for the Redskins since signing with the team Oct. 9, making all 14 of his field goals and all 22 of his extra-point attempts.

Whoever receives the cleat could own a piece of history, considering Forbath just needs to make his next two field-goal attempts to tie the NFL record for consecutive field goals made (16) to start a career. I mean, honestly, the Pro Football Hall of Fame would probably be happy to have that cleat on display.

The cleat is also a painful reminder of Forbath’s odd and painful — but successful — approach to kicking. According to NFL.com, Forbath usually wears a size 10.5 cleat or shoe, but he wears a size 7.5 soccer cleat on his right, kicking foot during practices and games.

“The surface it creates when you squeeze [your foot into the cleat], it’s a real hard surface which obviously makes the pop on the ball a lot stronger,” Forbath told Sports Evolution Radio. “You know, you’re trying to get every yard you can get. People have been doing it for a long time now. It’s horrible. I shave the inside cleats off, so my foot is slanted as I walk on it too. When I look down, I still can’t believe how it fits in there.”

My right foot tenses up just hearing him explain that.

In case you haven’t heard by now, the Washington Redskins today extended their winning streak to four games with a 31-28, overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens at FedExField.

The Redskins (7-6) made a furious comeback with little time remaining in the fourth quarter to tie the game. Down eight and with starting quarterback Robert Griffin III on the sidelines nursing a knee injury, backup quarterback Kirk Cousins came in and threw a touchdown to wide receiver Pierre Garcon to get within two points.

The ensuing two-point conversion — a run on a quarterback draw by Cousins — was also good, and the game was tied to force overtime. After the Washington defense forced the Baltimore offense off the field on its opening possession, cornerback Richard Crawford took the ensuing punt inside the Baltimore 30-yard line. From there, kicker Kai Forbath continued his perfect season and nailed the game-winning kick.

Here’s how several players reacted to the win on Twitter tonight:

Quarterback Robert Griffin III:

So proud of my guys!!!! We defined what a team win is today. Thank you for your prayers and positive vibes—
Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) December 09, 2012

Wow, what a game.

The Redskins extended their winning streak to three games late last night with their 17-16 win over the NFC East-leading New York Giants to pull within a game of the division lead with four games still left to play.

The story of the game, to me, was the Redskins’ defensive adjustments in the second half. After allowing the Giants to convert 8-of-10 third-down conversions in the first half — as well as hold the ball for more than 20 of the game’s first 30 minutes — the Washington defense stood strong in the second half, allowing just one-of-five on third down the rest of the way and dramatically cutting into that New York time of possession.

Anyway, as usual, the Redskins players flocked to Twitter to show their excitement and their gratitude to the fans after last night’s big victory.

Twitter has made it official: the Redskins this past week were king of the NFL social media world.

Twitter announced today that last Thursday’s Redskins-Cowboys matchup was the “most buzzed-about” game of the week, while Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was the league’s most-tweeted about player.

Neither are very surprising, especially considering we whooped up on the Cowboys in our Thanksgiving Day Social Media Showdown.

But, in case you missed them, here were some of the best tweets from the Redskins players after that Dallas game, which the Redskins won, 38-31:

Quarterback Robert Griffin III:

Sean Taylor died five years ago to this day, but his memory lives on through his former teammates, coaches, friends, family and fans.

Accordingly, there’s several awesome Taylor tributes that have popped up today:

- On the Redskins Twitter page, we’re encouraging fans to tweet us their favorite Sean Taylor photos.

- ESPN 980 has also done a wonderful Taylor tribute page in which you can find some great Taylor quotes, photos and highlights from his best moments with the Redskins.

Speaking of Twitter, several Redskins players got on their own accounts today to show their respects to Taylor, including:

Quarterback Robert Griffin III:

Never got the chance to meet Sean Taylor, but his legacy is embedded in our franchise. Because of that…We play with him every game—

The Washington Redskins have arrived at the massive Cowboys Stadium for today’s Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.

The Redskins players seemed amped and ready to go this morning at the hotel and on the team bus as it unloaded into the locker room. With a holiday matchup on national TV with tons riding on the game, you can certainly see why.

Here’s some tweets by the Redskins players today that acknowledge both Thanksgiving and today’s huge game against the Cowboys:

The Washington Redskins defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 31-6 today in front of an energetic FedExField crowd.

It was perhaps the first time all season the Redskins (4-6) have put together a solid all-around game for four quarters from its offense, defense and special teams.

The satisfying feeling carried over after the game on Twitter, where the Redskins players were tweeting away. Players like quarterback Robert Griffin III, who answered ESPN anchor Trey Wingo’s sarcastic tweet about his one incomplete pass on the day:

“@wingoz: so @RGIII goes 14/15 for 200 yds and 4 TDs. What the hell happened on that one incompletion? unacceptable” Looking at film now—

So we learned yesterday that Ryan Kerrigan would be a math teacher/football coach if he wasn’t in the NFL, he’s a bandwagon fan, he still gets nervous before football games and that he considers teammate London Fletcher the most underrated player in the league.

Kerrigan was participating in the second @Redskins Player Twitter Takeover, in which he actually got in front of our laptops and had control of the @Redskins Twitter account for a good half-hour or so. Rookie running back Alfred Morris was our first @Redskins Player Twitter Takeover participant, which happened on Tuesday.

Kerrigan on Thursday also surprised our followers by handing out two pairs of tickets to Sunday’s Redskins-Eagles NFC East showdown at FedExField to whoever could answer a special Kerrigan-themed trivia question (see below).

Here’s the entire @Redskins Ryan Kerrigan Twitter Takeover from yesterday:

#Redskins OLB @RyanKerrigan91 is at the desk ready to answer YOUR questions. Tweet @Redskins with #Ask91. http://t.co/mnpcaubA—

RK: Hey #Redskins fans, we'll be giving away two pairs of tickets to Sunday's game after our Twitter chat. Stay tuned for details!—

RK: Message to the fans. we're all excited to be back to work after the bye week and we're ready to make you all proud this Sunday! #HTTR—

First question from @PRLeni: "What job would you have if you weren't a football player?" #HTTR—
  (@Redskins) November 15, 2012

RK: I would be a Math Teacher and Football Coach. I always enjoyed Math growing up so teaching it would be my ideal job.—

Second question for @RyanKerrigan91 from @bauckland: "Do you still get nervous before games?" #HTTR—
  (@Redskins) November 15, 2012

RK: Yeah I definitely still get pre-game butterflies. They tend to go away after the first snap but up til then I usually have some nerves.—
  (@Redskins) November 15, 2012

Next question for @RyanKerrigan91 comes from @DBLAZE1119: "What NFL team did you root for when you were a kid?" #HTTR—
  (@Redskins) November 15, 2012

RK: I was a huge bandwagon fan growing up, so whoever was good haha. But as I got older I rooted for the Colts b/c I lived close to Indy.—

Last question, then chance for tix; From @JohnMoxon4: "How is it getting to play with the most underrated pro ever in @LFletcher59?" #HTTR—

RK: It is a privilege getting to play with a guy like Fletch. He makes everyone else's jobs easier and is the heartbeat of this team.—

Congrats to our two winners @awilliams182 & @Los_E_LosO for guessing "Milk was a bad choice!" Check your DMs momentarily for tix info.—

And then Kerrigan chimed in a little while later on his own Twitter account:
