Sunday Night Football is headed to the nation's capital for an NFC clash.
The Washington Commanders will welcome the Atlanta Falcons to town for a primetime matchup to close out the Sunday action in Week 17.
Last week at home, the Falcons made a risky move in switching from veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins to rookie Michael Penix, Jr., and it paid off. Penix powered the team to a convincing victory in his first career start, beating the Giants, 34-7. With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' loss, the Falcons now own the top spot in the NFC South.

The Commanders and their rookie QB Jayden Daniels also grabbed a win at home in Week 16, exploding for a 22-point fourth quarter to complete their comeback and grab a 36-33 victory over NFC East foe Philadelphia.
With four wildcard spots left open in the NFC, a win would give each team a major boost in the race.
