Ah, meaningful December football. There's nothing quite like it. The weather has turned (anyone catch ?), and most every team is looking to help itself -- and get help from others -- as the playoff races tighten.One month ago, the visiting Washington in mid-December didn't look like a game that would have playoff implications for both teams.

Washington, meanwhile, was still reeling from losing in Week 1 -- hadn't found his groove yet -- and the defense had been a major disappointment.Fast forward to Week 14 and Washington's four straight victories represent the longest active winning streak in the NFC while Dallas has lost two of its last three.
