From NFL to NCAA: The biggest sports controversies of 2024
Reporters from USA Today share what they think the biggest controversy in sports was in 2024.
Sports Seriously
The Washington Commanders host the Atlanta Falcons on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football,” with both teams in need of a Week 17 win to solidify their playoff chances.
Atlanta (8-7) will have eyes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (also 8-7) earlier on Sunday, as the battle for the NFC South crown is the only avenue either has to reach the playoffs. The Falcons hold the tiebreaker edge, and a win in the D.C. suburbs would go a long way toward securing a spot in the postseason. Last week’s blowout 34-7 win over the New York Giants was a confidence booster heading into this one.
Washington (10-5) is on the cusp of claiming the NFC’s final wild-card berth. A win or tie at Northwest Stadium would see the Commanders make the playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season. Last week’s extraordinary 36-33 win over the Philadelphia Eagles has kept the door open for Washington to win the NFC East, though the odds remain slim.
