The 2010's wasn't much of a decade for the Redskins (although the tally of two division titles does top the 2000's, which is sad). Even so, the 2012 season has to be counted among the bright spots in team history. With the much-hyped RGIII briefly living up to expectations, the '12 Redskins were a magical bunch.
These Redskins shrugged off a 3-6 start with an inspired 7-game winning streak (including 5 division wins over that span) to finish the season 10-6 and claim a rare division title. This match-up with their cross-state sort-of rivals landed in the middle of that streak with the season still on the brink. The Ravens of course, were good. Very good. Baltimore was on the cusp of a division title with 4 games remaining in the season, and headed for bigger things. But it was the Redskins who prevailed in this game that started as a wild shoot-out and ended with high drama.
The high of the RGIII era wouldn't last, but for this day and this one incredible season, football magic was back in DC.
The Marvelous Marv Albert alongside Rich Gannon on the call from a packed FedEx Field (there was a time that it was so...) for this early December not-to-be-missed thriller.
