Eagles vs. Washington live score, updates, highlights from ‘Sunday Night Football’

The Washington Footbal Team has everything to play for against the Eagles on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 17.

With a win or a tie, Washington (6-9)  clinches the NFC East and a spot in the playoffs. A loss, and it’ll be the Giants representing the NFL’s worst division in the postseason.

It would be a storybook ending to the regular season for Alex Smith, who was cleared to start in Week 17 after suffering a calf injury against the 49ers in Week 14. Smith, likely to be the NFL’s comeback player of the season after spending two years recovering from a horrific leg injury, could lock up the award by punching Washington’s playoff ticket with a win.

That being said, don’t expect the Eagles (4-10-1) to roll over. Even though they were eliminated from playoff contention following last week’s loss to the Cowboys, they’re still playing for pride. Rookie QB Jalen Hurts is also making his final audition to be the starting QB over Carson Wentz.
