The Shanahan family definitely has some lingering hard feelings against the Washington Redskins organization, if their actions after Sunday’s win are any indication.
In an ugly, rain-soaked game, the San Francisco 49ers managed to beat the Redskins 9-0 on Sunday. After that win, coach Kyle Shanahan shared the game ball with his father, Mike, who was fired by Washington in 2013.
