Welcome to the playoffs, Redskins fans!  

After dispatching the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17, the Redskins have now turned their focus towards Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers who are making their way to FedEx Field on Sunday afternoon. 

Hosts Chad and Mark are joined once again by Marc Sessler (NFL media/Around the NFL podcast), and together we break down why it isn't crazy that Redskins fans should be feeling quietly confident about the prospect of hosting Aaron Rodgers. 

Marc also compares Kirk Cousins to one of the characters from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and we discuss whether or not the "nobody believes in us" mentality can continue for Washington this week. 

All that and a lot more on the first of two special playoffs episodes of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast coming out this week! 

Who would have thought we'd be going into Week 17 versus Dallas in circumstances like these! You have to go all the way back to 1999 for the last time the Washington Redskins entered Week 17 with the playoffs already clinched, but that is the situation that we find ourselves in this year. 

Hosts Chad and Mark welcome on special guest Redskins DE Ricky Jean-Francois, who talks to us about being an undefeated wrestling champion against his team mates, staying focused on Dallas this week, preparing for the playoffs, and which intriguing start player rookie Preston Smith reminds him of!

All that and more on what is both the last Redskins Capital Connection podcast of 2015, and simultaneously the first of 2016 - you'll hear why! 

Thanks for listening!

After the Redskins convincingly beat the Buffalo Bills in the last regular season game at FedEx Field, they now control their own destiny; a win versus Philadelphia in Week 16 will see Washington crowned the 2015 NFC East champions!

Joining Hosts Chad and Mark this week is none other than Marc Sessler from the Around the NFL podcast, as well as his work on NFL.com. Hear Marc talk about why Kirk Cousins and the Redskins can go into Philadelphia and win, and what that means for this team and their identity. We also talk about DeSean Jackson's impact, whether or not Jordan Reed will make the pro bowl, and how Scot McCloughan has changed the dynamic of this team in his first year. 

All that and much more on this week's edition of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast!

Whilst this win doesn't exactly make the Washington Redskins the new Mad Maxs, Kirk Cousins and his team did come out of Chicago with a vital road win! 

To talk about the win, as well as the week ahead against Buffalo as well as other happenings around Redskins park, hosts Chad and Mark are joined by Chris Russell this week. Together we talk in depth about the usage of Darrel Young, the explosiveness of Jordan Reed, and the playoff picture in the NFC East.

In one word, the Week 13 game against the Dallas Cowboys was ugly. It was a game the Redskins needed to win, and just like they've done all too often, they crapped the bed on Prime Time TV. 

Hosts Chad and Mark are joined by CSN's Redskins Insider Rich Tandler, who helps us make sense of just what in the world went wrong for the Redskins who went down 19-16 to the Matt Cassel led Cowboys. 

We also announce the winner of our podcast competition, look ahead to the Week 14 game vs Chicago, and more!

As always, thanks for listening, and check out www.redskinscapitalconnection.com!

Well, would you look at that! The Washington Redskins are atop the NFC East division leaderboard on the 1st day of December. 

Hosts Chad and Mark discuss what the Redskins now have to do to stay at the top of the division and keep the playoff dream alive, as well as talking about Kirk Cousins, DeSean Jackson, the New York Giants win and the upcoming Dallas Cowboys game.

To do all this, we've once again dragooned Redskins beat reporter and friend of the show Michael Phillips from the Richmond Times Dispatch on to help us get our collective heads around the big questions, such as 'is Kirk Cousins a franchise quarterback?' 

Also, this is the last week to enter our competition to win a Redskins shirt or hat, so make sure you check out our competition on RedskinsCapitalConnection.com! 

It's not often that a 4-5 team can come off of a crushing 44-16 loss, and yet be playing for outright 1st in their division the following week. Yet that is exactly the opportunity in front of the Washington Redskins this week when they host the New York Giants at FedEx Field!

This week, hosts Chad and Mark are joined by Redskins Insider Tarik El-Bashir from CSN Mid-Atlantic to discuss everything from Jay Grudens job security to leadership and resilience in the Redskins locker room. 

Make sure you also check out the competition that we are running on the RCC podcast! You can win yourself some Redskins merchandise just by leaving a review of the podcast on iTunes or Stitcher! 

A huge edition of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast this week, as hosts Chad and Mark are joined by Washington Redskins rookie Wide Receiver Jamison Crowder, as well as friend of the show Brian McNally! 

First hear us talk to Brian about the comprehensive beat-down that Kirk Cousins and the Redskins put on the New Orleans Saints, and what it means for the season ahead. 

After that, Jamison Crowder phones in to talk about life as a rookie in the NFL, his developing rapport with Kirk Cousins, and whether or not he'll bust out any dance moves if he scores a touchdown in Cam Newton's house this week against Carolina!

Finally, it's another edition of our listener Q&A as we answer your questions sent through on Twitter!

A monster episode this week, so enjoy!

Hosts Chad and Mark do their best not to drop anything as they recap the Redskins loss to the Patriots, as well as previewing the crucial week 10 game versus New Orleans.

To help them do this, our good friend the esteemed Liz Clarke from the Washington Post joins to give her insight in to why the Redskins came out of the bye week looking completely unprepared to stop the run, and unprepared to get any yards on the ground of their own. 

All that and much more on this week's episode of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast. 

Refreshed and healed up after a relaxing bye week, the hosts of the Redskins Capital Connection podcast Chad & Mark are joined by Chris Wesseling from NFL.com and the famous Around the NFL podcast to talk all things Redskins football!

Hear Chris's thoughts on whether or not Jay Gruden will return in 2016, what he thinks the Redskins need to do to avoid getting demolished by New England this week, and which young players impress him. 

Following that chat, Chad & Mark breakdown the Tampa Bay win, discuss potential trades with the deadline looming, and recap the Redskins Capital Connection MVP votes as they stand at the halfway point of the season!

All that and more on this week's edition of the show!
