The Detroit Lions and Washington may not be playing for much on Sunday. At 3-6-1 and 1-9 respectively, playoff hopes are all but a hopeless dream at this point.
So it feels a little weird doing my normal 2,000-word preview on a game many will be ignoring this Sunday, especially when the NFL schedule has so much more to offer this week.
To placate those that are still interested in this column, it will obviously still continue through the end of the season, but for my own sanity, it will be a little more brief than normal.
