The Saints remaining 4 games are in the NFC. If they win out they will be 9-7 like the Skins, if the Skins win out, so both the Saints and the Skins would be 9-7. They will not and have not played each other so the head to head tiebreaker will not apply. The Saints would be 8-4 in the NFC and the Skins would be 7-5, so the Saints would get that last Wildcard spot. Nothing the Skins can do but win out and hope the Saints lose at least one game, then both teams would be 7-5 in the NFC and the next tiebreaker is common games, which is too complicated to figure at this point. The Skins have a very tough 3 game streach. I don't realistically see us beating the Vikings at home right now, but I think we could be the Giants and maybe the backup Cowboys in week 17.
