The Washington Commanders will head to East Rutherford this weekend to take on the New York Giants, as they begin a stretch of four consecutive NFC East rivalry games to close out the regular season.
Washington's final three contests, against the Philadelphia Eagles twice and the Dallas Cowboys at home, were supposed to be their most crucial stretch of the season. But instead, it's this Week 15 tilt that might have the most important long-term ramifications.
The Commanders are 3-10, and the Giants are 2-11. That means their draft positions hang in the balance. For once, a loss might actually be a positive thing.
