The Washington Redskins battle the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in one of four NFL wildcard games.
The Washington Redskins have spent since 2007 traveling the road back to the NFL playoffs -- but it's been a heck of a ride. Next stop: Sunday's wildcard game against the Seattle Seahawks. All this hailing to the Redskins should seem familiar. In 2007, the Redskins also made the 2007 NFL playoffs as a wildcard team.

We’re not talking Super Bowl-winning confidence, but several steps-in the-right-direction belief. The potency of the optimism stems from the team’s impressive preseason performance – at least compared to expectations – and key acquisitions, but it started with a decision made five months ago.
