The Giants got the win they needed but not the help Sunday. New York's 17-14 victory over the Washington Redskins was rendered moot for postseason purposes when Green Bay topped Chicago 10-3 to claim the remaining wild card berth in the NFC.
The Redskins (6-10) finished last in the NFC East for the third straight season. They went 2-6 at home, their worst mark since 0-8 in the 3-13 season of 1994. Mike Shanahan matched his worst full-season record in his 17 years as an NFL coach - he was also 6-10 with Denver in 1999.
