The NFL has changed the time of the Washington Football Team’s game Sunday, and the switch could set up a dramatic finish.
Washington will take on the Carolina Panthers at FedEx Field at 4:05 p.m., the team announced Tuesday; that’s a change from the originally scheduled 1 p.m.
As the team pointed out, this means Washington (6-8) might already know when it takes the field that a win would give Washington the NFC East title. The New York Giants play the Baltimore Ravens at 1 p.m., and a Giants loss and a WFT win would do it for Washington, putting the team in the playoffs for the first time since 2015.
