The NFL has announced schedule changes for Week 17 and, not surprisingly, the Washington Football Team’s game against the Eagles will be the last of 256 games played this season.

The league changed the Washington-Philadelphia game to Sunday Night Football on NBC next week, with the kickoff set for 8:20 pm ET.

Washington will play for the NFC East title in a win or win home game. A loss to Washington would result in the winner of the Cowboys-Giants game, winning the division through the back door.

The Tennessee-Houston and Jacksonville-Indianapolis games will start at 4:25 pm ET on Sunday on CBS.

The other games at 4:25 pm ET are the Saints-Panthers, the Packers-Bears, the Raiders-Broncos, the Chargers-Chiefs, the Cardinals-Rams and the Seahawks-49ers. FOX will broadcast the Saints-Panthers, Packers-Bears, Chargers-Chiefs and Seahawks-49ers. CBS will broadcast Raiders-Broncos and Cardinals-Rams.

The other seven games on the agenda, including the Cowboys-Giants, are scheduled to start at 1 pm ET.
