Since 1936, with the lone exception of 2004, if the Redskins won their last home game before Election Day the incumbent party won the presidency. If they lost, the incumbent party lost.
Playing at home Monday night, Election Day-eve, the Redskins lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 23-6.
The ‘Redskins rule‘ is now 94.8% accurate in predicting the winner of the presidential election. I don’t think there are any political pollsters that can claim that kind of record.
