The NFL has announced schedule changes for Week 17, and it’s not surprising that the Washington Football Team’s game against the Eagles will be the last of the 256 games played this season.

The league moved the game from Washington and Philadelphia to Sunday Night Football on NBC next week with kick-offs for 20:20 ET.

Washington will play in the win-or-win game for the NFC East title. A loss by Washington would result in the Cowboys-Giants division winner winning the division through the back door.

The Tennessee-Houston and Jacksonville-Indianapolis games begin Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS.

The other 16:25 ET games are the Saints-Panthers, the Packers-Bears, the Raiders-Broncos, the Chargers-Chiefs, the Cardinals-Rams and the Seahawks-49ers. FOX will send out the Saints-Panthers, Packers-Bears, Chargers-Chiefs and Seahawks-49ers. CBS will broadcast the Raiders-Broncos and Cardinals-Rams.

The other seven games on the dossier, including the Cowboys-Giants, are scheduled for 13:00 ET kickoff.
