Monday Night Football has not been too kind to the Washington Football Team over the years. Entering the MNF home contest against the Seattle Seahawks, Washington hadn’t won on a Monday night since Colt McCoy engineered a road win at Dallas in 2014.
Washington’s Monday night futility isn’t just over the last seven years, no it dates back to the 90s. Before defeating the Seahawks on Monday night, 17-15, Washington had only won five MNF games dating back to 1998.
Do you realize how coaching regimes have come and gone since then?
Anyhow, the WFT’s win Monday gets them to 5-6, and they currently hold the seventh and final NFC playoff spot.
As you might expect, Twitter was a wild place at times during Washington’s game, especially late when it looked like the Seahawks may tie the game.
Here are some of the top Twitter reactions from Monday’s win over the Seahawks.
Okay, Seattle won’t ever do it… But when do you consider Geno Smith? Wilson’s third down play is killing this offense. That’s the reality.

Taylor Heinicke has beaten Matt Ryan, Tom Brady, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson this year.
Those 4 QBs have 30 Pro Bowls, five MVP awards and 8 Super Bowl rings combined.
Not bad for an undrafted 28-year-old out of ODU

Taylor Heinicke is growing every game man I love what I’m seeing.

Hokie summation of end of WFT game:
Joey Slye injured? -> no worries Logan Thomas for the TD catch
Catch ruled incomplete? -> no worries Kendall Fuller for the INT in the end zone

Someone needs to explain how the 3rd INT by Ronnie Harrison on Lamar on SNF was an interception but the Logan Thomas TD to try and seal the game for Washington was called incomplete

Hey their kicker was injured. They didn’t want him even trying XPs. Punter was kicking off. Also the kick could be blocked, etc. and also Logan Thomas caught a touchdown that overruled on review – erroneously.

I kept telling the same thing at my TV. To no avail. If not for that Interception by Fuller in the endzone, OT could have gone very badly for the WFT.
