[Update: After Monday night’s loss to the Seahawks, the Redskins are now 3-17 in primetime games since Joe Gibbs stepped away. The total point differential in those games has been 532-312, meaning the average primetime result has been an 11-point loss.]

As the Redskins surged toward the playoffs in Joe Gibbs’s final season in Washington, they became prime-time darlings.

On the first Thursday in that December, they beat the Bears at home, and the Todd Collins magic began. Ten days later, they beat the Giants in the Meadowlands to reach .500. The next Sunday night, they won in Minnesota, and the playoffs chatter became very real. That made three primetime wins in 17 days, and it carried Washington to a wild-card spot.

A lot has happened since then. Jim Zorn has come and gone. So have Mike Shanahan and his son. So have Donovan McNabb, Albert Haynesworth, Rex Grossman and John Beck. And in more than six full seasons since, Washington has won a total of three primetime games — the same number that Gibbs won in 17 days.

And some of the primetime losses in that span have been among the lowlights of the modern Redskins era. The Zorn swinging gate happened in primetime. So did the Steelers invasion of FedEx Field, when the Redskins had to use a silent count at home. So did the Donovan McNabb extension game, when the Redskins announced their commitment to the veteran quarterback, and then lost by 31 to his former team at home, in a game in which Haynesworth took a nap during a play.

In this era of primetime failure, there has been a 33-point loss to the Giants (at home), that 31-point loss to the Eagles (at home) a 25-point loss to the Cowboys, and a 31-point loss to the Giants (at home).

The Redskins began banning fan signs in primetime, before a Monday night home loss against the Eagles. They showed their historic 2013 special-teams ineptitude in primetime, giving up an 86-yard punt return and a 90-yard kickoff return to Dwayne Harris in the same game. RGIII’s return from injury came in primetime, when the Redskins fell behind, 33-7, and were booed at home, a harbinger of 2013’s disappointment.

A crushing loss at Dallas in 2011 — featuring a late-game Dez Bryant catch and penalty on DeAngelo Hall, and an even-later-game Rex Grossman fumble — came in primetime. Christian Ponder and Matt Cassel combined to beat Washington in primetime. Kirk Cousins turned the ball over five times in primetime, too.

In total, after losing to the Seahawks, the Redskins are now 3-17 in primetime games since Gibbs stepped away. The total point differential has been 532-312, meaning the average primetime result has been an 11-point loss.
