The game will determine the NFC East championship in some form. Still, it is hard to believe the best the NFL and NBC have to offer in Week 17 is Washington at Philadelphia.
That was determined Sunday night when Al Michaels announced the Washington-Philly game would be the “Sunday Night Football” location.
If the Eagles win, the team that wins the Cowboys-Giants game earlier that Sunday would be the NFC East champion. If the WFT defeats the reeling Eagles, Ron Rivera and Co. would play host to a playoff game.
So, you have a 6-9 team playing a 4-10-1 team to determine whether it gets into the playoffs or if another 6-9 team or one that is 5-10 coming in gets to go to the postseason.
That is going out with a whimper.
