Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants Live Stream: Watch Online NFL Game Streaming The Washington Redskins did not expect to be out of the playoffs race when the schedule hit Week 17 of the season and now they play against the New York Giants on Sunday at MetLife Stadium and the matchup will be on FOX at 1 pm and is a big NFC East matchup for nothing and will be streaming on the NFL.com league website and the team is coming off of a loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
The Giants have had a rough season as well and Eli Manning has been having a tough time all year and leads the league in interceptions and the Redskins come into the game just 3-12 on the season and they haven't even won a game in the NFC East and Robert Griffin III is out of the lineup once again and the team has gone just 1-10 on the season and there is no impact on the playoffs for this game. The matchup has big implications for the Rams, as they have the Redskins pick in the first round and it could be a good one.
The Giants are coming into the game after winning over the Detroit Lions and they are hoping to end the season on a high note and it could be the end for Justin Tuck as his contract is up and this season Manning has over 3,600 passing yards, but the offense has been killed by injuries and Manning has not played up to his potential and the Giants are hoping that Tom Coughlin will return and winning the game against the Redskins would greatly help that. The Giants have had trouble with turnovers all season and they are just 6-9 this season and 2-3 against the NFC East and they are 5-6 against the NFC overall this season.

The Giants and the Redskins are one of only three games on the schedule that has no implications of the playoffs and all the other games have spots or seeds, or positioning or home field advantage on the line and nothing is really set on either side and there are four spots up for grabs and here is a look at the matchups on Sunday from Reuters.com: One of the wildest and most unpredictable regular seasons ever in the National Football League will conclude in gripping 'what next?' fashion on Sunday with 10 teams still in the hunt for the last four playoff spots.
Thirteen of the 16 games have postseason implications, and all of them are division contests to add further intrigue to what promises to be a pulsating Week 17.
In the American Football Conference, the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts and Kansas City Chiefs have all secured playoff berths, leaving four teams to battle it out for the final wildcard spot.
However each of those four - the Miami Dolphins (8-7), Baltimore Ravens (8-7), San Diego Chargers (8-7) and Pittsburgh Steelers (7-8) - need to win on Sunday and also have other results go their way if they are to advance.
The National Football Conference is wide open with all four division crowns still up for grabs and only the Seattle Seahawks (12-3), Carolina Panthers (11-4) and San Francisco 49ers (11-4) having claimed spots in the postseason.
Six teams - the Philadelphia Eagles (9-6), Chicago Bears (8-7), New Orleans Saints (10-5), Arizona Cardinals (10-5), Dallas Cowboys (8-7) and Green Bay Packers (7-7-1) - will be vying on Sunday for the three playoff berths available.
The Eagles are away to the Cowboys while the Bears are at home to the Packers and in each of those 'do-or-die' games the winner would automatically clinch the divisional title with the loser shutting down for the season.
"This is why you play the game," said Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, who leads the league with a 118.8 passer rating that includes 25 touchdowns and just two interceptions. "You play for meaningful games at the end of the season. The Packers-Bears game at Soldier Field in Chicago could mark the return of Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has missed his team's last seven games while recovering from a broken collarbone.
"Obviously, I want to be out there," said Rodgers, the Super Bowl's most valuable player in 2011 who fractured his left collarbone against the Bears in early November.
"I know what's at stake. This is an important week for us. We're somehow back in this position to be able to get into the playoffs. What a better way to do that than against the Chicago Bears?"
The New Orleans Saints, who host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will aim to rebound from a disappointing 17-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday when victory would have earned them the NFC East title and a first round bye.
"It's all out there in front of us," Saints quarterback Drew Brees said, referring to multiple scenarios this Sunday that could earn his team a place in the postseason.
"Obviously, we need some help in order to win the division and be the two seed, but the fact of the matter is all we can worry about is what is ahead of us."
Peyton Manning and the Broncos (12-3), who sealed a third consecutive AFC West division title with a 37-13 win over the Houston Texans last week, would clinch home-field advantage throughout the playoffs by beating the Raiders in Oakland.
Should Denver slip up on Sunday, however, that advantage would fall to the Patriots (11-4), as long as they can claim a home victory over the Bills (6-9) - a team they edged 23-21 in Buffalo on September 8 to launch the 2013 season.
"It's going to be a huge game for us, so I think we'll need our best effort," said Tom Brady, who has set a quarterback record by winning 11 division titles with New England.
"We're playing one of the best defenses in the league, a team that's sacked the quarterback more than anybody in the whole league. It's the holiday season, but at the same time, it's the most important game of the year.
"We've really got to focus on what we need to do, which is play our best game and be on top of things right from the kickoff all the way through the fourth quarter."
Brady's words can certainly apply to several other teams on Sunday as they bid to stay "on top of things" with pivotal postseason implications on the line.
