Then, over the past 18 months as the Nats, Caps and WNBA’s Mystics showed Washington could win titles, the flip happened fast: The Redskins lost Washington. ADIt took Washington owner Daniel Snyder 20 years to carve a trap door under his own franchise. Before kickoff Sunday, tickets could be bought online for $10 — almost unthinkable to get into an NFL game. The franchise lost the NFL championship game as the Boston Redskins in 1936, then won the NFL title in 1937 as soon as it got to D.C. ADEven in two awful years — ­1-9-2 and 1-12-1 in 1960 and 1961 — you couldn’t get cheap tickets to a Redskins game.
