The New York Giants are facing the Cowboys in their final game of the regular season, but that’s not the only game that will decide the division. For the Giants to make it into the playoffs, they need to win and Washington needs to lose their own season finale.
They’re in this situation because they haven’t been able to capitalize on earlier losses from Washington, and now, the Giants have to rely on a Philadelphia team that’s already been eliminated and doesn’t have anything to play for.
Because if Philly doesn’t pull off a win against Washington, it won’t matter what happens in the Dallas versus New York game.
