The Washington Commanders are almost there.
Just one win stands between Dan Quinn's men and a playoff spot for the first time since 2020. They gave their chances a significant boost by beating the Philadelphia Eagles in the closing seconds of an enthralling Week 16 encounter. Finishing the job and concluding their regular-season home engagements on a high is crucial.
This game against the Atlanta Falcons got the deserved primetime treatment. There is a lot at stake for both teams, with Raheem Morris' squad potentially clinching the NFC South with victory at Northwest Stadium.
Staying professional and coping with the pressure are the primary objectives for Quinn's squad. They've done remarkably well to put themselves in pole position. Falling at the final hurdle is simply not an option.
Depending on how the Green Bay Packers fare at the Minnesota Vikings in the late afternoon window, the Commanders could occupy the sixth seed at the close of play. That provides some added incentive, but securing their place in the knockout rounds is the most important thing above all else.
