NFL Week 17 late games discussion thread

As the National Football League has done in recent years, all of the games in the late window of Week 17 have some sort of playoff implications. Well. . .almost all of them. (Sorry, Raiders and Broncos fans.) The NFL knows how to do drama, and they’re doing it again this week.

Since the season is over for the Vikings, we can bring you one last modified, limited Red Zone Sunday here at DN, so that you can kick back, relax, and watch/discuss all of the late games on this final Sunday of the 2020 NFL regular season.

Here are the coverage maps from the folks at 506 Sports to let you know which games are being shown where for those of you that aren’t blessed with the Red Zone Channel. Since it’s Week 17, both CBS and FOX have doubleheaders this week, so there’s a full complement of games on each network. Here’s the full list:

It’s the final half day of the 2020 NFL regular season, and we’re still deciding playoff berths, divisional championships, and even first-round byes. Come on in and watch the games with us!
