It doesn’t come as much surprise, but the Washington Football Team announced on Monday night that they will not be able to allow any fans at Fed Ex Field for the playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday night due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Washington will be hosting a wild-card game, kicking off at 8:15 p.m. ET with a chance to continue their season, but there won’t be any fans in attendance, although it’s the first playoff game Washington will be involved in since 2015.
“Our entire team, especially our players, will miss having our passionate fans in the stadium as we take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,” Washington said in a statement. “We are grateful for all of the support from our community and encourage everyone to stay safe.”
