NFL inserts Commanders, Falcons into primetime in Week 17
Washington and Atlanta take centerstage in primetime as both teams are in playoff contention, as opposed to Cleveland and Miami. The Falcons are currently a game out of first place in the NFC South behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-6), whom they defeated in both meetings this season.
The Commanders, meanwhile, have been one of the stories of the season. Washington, which owned the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, occupies the seventh and final playoff spot in the NFC.
