What a win or loss means for the Washington Football Team on Sunday night

Playoffs or season over. No. 19 or No. 10. Division title or runner up. Here’s a look at everything on the line for Washington on Sunday.

With the most important game of the season for the Washington Football Team kicking off on Sunday night, it seems like a good time to look into exactly what will happen should they beat the Philadelphia Eagles or lose.

Now that 255 games of the 2020 NFL season have been played, there are only a few things to be wrapped up in the 256th contest. When the final whistle blows on Washington and the Eagles, we will have everything we need to know, including a finalized playoff picture, and a good part of the 2021 NFL draft order set in stone.

Let’s take a look at the ramifications, with some help from Michael Phillips.

If Washington is to win on Sunday night, they will clinch their first playoff berth since 2015, and secure the NFC East division championship, giving them a tougher schedule next season. It will also guarantee that they can draft no higher than No. 19 in the 2021 NFL Draft.

With a loss, the season will end, and they will pick No. 10. Subsequently, the New York Giants will represent the NFC East in the playoffs.

Easy to say that a win seems much more fun for everyone. Let’s keep this thing rolling.
