If you’re here, you’re probably wondering: Why is it that we’re getting not one, but TWO special Tuesday night NFL games — one between NFC East rivals the Washington Football Team and the Philadelphia Eagles, and the other is an NFC West battle between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams?
The answer is fairly straightforward: Both Washington and the Rams had a significant amount of players on its reserve/COVID-19 list, and so the NFL moved these two games from Sunday to Tuesday.
So both those games will be played at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday night. That happened last year as well!
Seahawks at Rams, and WFT at Eagles both are now expected to be rescheduled for Tuesday, per sources.
If the postponed games had been cancelled, players would not have gotten paid for the week.
