Redskins vs Titans: Derrick Henry Late Turnover causes Tennessee Victory. Here are four takeaways from the Redskins defeat 25-16 for the Titans on Saturday:

Defense could not finish the job: the Redskins held Derrick Henry for more than three quarters and got a break when Marcus Mariota came out injured just before halftime, but Henry and backup midfielder Blaine Gabbert sent when their team desperately needed it. Henry, who ran 408 yards in Tennessee's last two matches combined, has 44 yards in 14 trivial carry when the Titans clinched the field with 8:14 remaining and Washington led 16-12. He then ran 33 yards on what would prove to be the match-winning score drive. That included an 18-yard run that preceded Blaine Gabbert's two-yard touchdown pass to pass tight MyCole Pruitt, who opened wide behind the final zone because everyone in the stadium thought Henry would get another call near the goal line. A tackle is answered by D.J. Swearinger and what should have been the interception that passed Ha Ha Clinton Dix's hands immediately led to a pair of Titans field goals at the start of the match.

Josh Johnson makes everyone believe: Johnson's last figure is not beautiful, but starting in successive weeks for the first time since 2009, he has the Redskins in a position to win the game as a double-digit underdog for the first time since 2014. With Washington behind 6 -3 in the second quarter, Johnson led the most impressive trip of the season, a 17-march, 93-yard march that took place 10:58 and culminated in a touchdown for Michael Floyd. At the start of the trip, the Redskins faced the second and 27th from the shadow of their own final zone. Floyd would disappoint Johnson with a drop in the third quarter that forced Washington to settle for the field goal, and Johnson made his first big mistake in the match after Pruitt's goal, passing a header past Josh Doctson who was intercepted by Kevin Byard.

Redskins vs Titans: Derrick Henry Late Turnover causes Tennessee victory

Adrian Peterson is still strange: Peterson ran like a man who was determined to take his team to the playoffs. He finished with 26 carrying for 119 yards and going more than 1,000 meters for this season, becoming the first Redskins player since Alfred Morris in 2014 to achieve that feat, and joining Franco Harris, John Riggins and Frank Gore as the only players who did it at the age of 33 or more in the last 50 years. For most of the game, Peterson outperformed Henry, who finished with 21 carrying for 84 yards and nine years younger. Peterson also moved past Eric Dickerson and finished eighth in the all-time NFL list.

The playoffs are now a long blow: the Redskins have not been knocked out of the playoff fight, but they now need more help than they managed to do from being upset. Hope the Washington postseason could disappear on Sunday if the Eagles defeat the Texas forces. If the Eagles lose to Houston, the Redskins can make a playoff with a win over Philadelphia in the regular season final if the Viking lose their last two matches in Detroit and home to Chicago.

Minnesotas's Post Office

Your local post office must be open on Christmas Eve, although they will likely close earlier than usual - some soon after noon - so check before you leave.

Mail will be sent as usual on December 24.

Bank

Most will open but close early. TCF Banks will close at 1 p.m. while the campus branch at UMD and Coffman will be closed completely.

US banks do not have registered Christmas Eve between observed holidays, so they must open but check the local branch for hours, as well as Wells Fargo.

Transit

Metro Transit and the regional Twin City transit providers will operate reduced services on Christmas Eve, with routes following Saturday's schedule, although some of the busier routes will have extra trips. Weekend rates will be charged.

Northstar will run, even with reduced services, with standard fees in force.
