Dallas at Washington, 5:20 p.m., Ch. 5
Unless San Francisco loses at home to Arizona, the Seahawks will be facing the winner of this game regardless of the outcome of Sunday's game against St. Louis. This is the second consecutive year that Dallas will play the final regular-season game in the NFL, a playoff berth depending on the outcome. The Cowboys lost 31-14 to the New York Giants in Week 17 last year to finish 8-8. A loss at Washington would give the Cowboys an identical record this year and an equally disappointing absence from the playoffs. Washington has won six consecutive games, the longest active streak in the NFC, and quarterback Robert Griffin III will be playing in his second game since returning from a knee injury.
