I know there is another thread about this, but this CNN scenario/explaination is alot easier to understand:

If Washington can win at Dallas this week, and the following pieces fall into place, the Redskins would be able to control their own fate and qualify for the playoffs with a Week 17 victory at home against Minnesota (which may already have the NFC North and a No. 3 seed wrapped up at that point):

First, the Redskins have to beat the Cowboys (which is plausible).

Tampa Bay would have to win at home against Carolina (could happen).

Cincinnati would have to beat the visiting Giants (should happen).

Atlanta would have to win at New Orleans (might happen).

And Philadelphia would have to win at St. Louis (will happen).

We'll pause a moment as you pick yourself back up off the floor.
