The Week 15 game between the New York Giants and the Washington Commanders could very well determine the NFC’s final playoff spot. Sunday’s 20-20 tie made the rematch even more critical and the NFL has taken notice.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the league has flexed the Commanders and Giants from Sunday afternoon to Sunday Night Football.

This is good news for fans wanting a big-time game at FedEx Field with playoff implications under the lights. However, a reminder that the Commanders travel to San Francisco for a Christmas Eve matchup against the 49ers — on Saturday.
So there isn’t much of a turnaround for Washington. In addition, the 49ers play on Thursday Night Football in Week 15.
Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen sent a personal message to fans after Sunday’s game that he wanted to see FedEx Field “rocking” for the rematch. Allen said he would provide 100-200 free tickets to fans.
The Commanders have a bye in Week 14, while the Giants play division-leading Philadelphia.
