The Atlanta Falcons don’t have a lot to play for in their season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so it should come as no surprise that the NFL opted to place the game in its 1:00 p.m. ET slot on Sunday.
With the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions potentially playing for the NFC North title, the league has placed that game in its Sunday night slot. Check out the Week 18 schedule below, as shared by the NFL’s Twitter account.
