NFL announces Week 17 schedule, Washington's bid for NFC East title will be the regular-season finale

The NFL didn’t have a great option for its final game of the 2020 regular season, but it stuck with the one that had the best chance to have playoff drama.

The Washington Football Team can clinch an NFC East championship with a win over the Philadelphia Eagles, who were eliminated with a loss on Sunday. That will be the Sunday night game to end the season, the NFL announced.

If the Dallas Cowboys (6-9) lose to the New York Giants (5-10) and Washington (6-9) falls to Philadelphia, then New York will win the NFC East.
