Giants not only need Bears and Vikings to lose this afternoon (and Giants need to win themselves), that also means that the only way the Giants are still alive entering tonight is if the Redskins have already clinched a playoff spot (since that happens if Bears and Vikings lose).
I would think the Giants would prefer that the Redskins have no safety net going into a game where a Redskins win puts Giants into playoffs. But the Vikings game should end late enough (if it matters) that the Redskins players will be able to treat the Cowboys game as "win or go home" even if it doesn't mean that.
Under this scenario, Redskins might host Seahawks with a win and visit the 49ers with a loss. Not a huge penalty there, some would say.
But a LOT of things can yet happen....
