Following news that the Raiders-Browns game will be postponed, it sounds like another two weekend games will be pushed back. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports (via Twitter) that the WFT-Eagles game, along with the Seahawks-Rams matchup, will likely be pushed to Tuesday.

Albert Breer of MMQB reports that the Washington-Philadelphia game has been moved to 7 p.m. eastern on Tuesday, December 21st.
Meanwhile, according to Jourdan Rodrique of The Athletic, the Seattle-Los Angeles game is currently planned to be played at 4 p.m. eastern time on Tuesday.
The news could have a significant impact on the injury front for the Eagles in particular. As the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane notes (on Twitter), starting quarterback Jalen Hurts was on his way to being available for the game had it been played on Sunday, so the postponement will only increase his chances of being able to suit up.
The fact that these games have been pushed back – as opposed to being cancelled outright – has financial significance for all players involved as well. As Schefter and ESPN colleague Dan Graziano point out, a forfeit by any team would have prevented the affected players from being paid for the week.
Lmao massive fail by the NFL
for reasonably postponing games
For not listening to players like Justin Pugh who are vaccinated. Test positive. And went untested for who knows how long.
if they cancel the games do the unvaxxed get paid
I don’t think anyone get paid period
It’s 4 pm pacific for the Rams Seahawks game
Just in time for the fantasy football playoffs! 😉
I’ve never been happier to have a bye…
The Eagles followed all the rules and are getting totally screwed by the NFL who last Summer said they would force teams to forfeit if this happened
It’s all about player safety, so Philly gets rewarded with playing 2 divisional games 4 days apart.
Goddell is such a hypocrite
Now I hear Montez Sweatt the unvaccinated player for WFT will come off his 10 day COVID isolation Tuesday so can play. What a joke.
Not only forfeit but pay the players salaries from both teams. If you have Covid and are not vaccinated. What if you have 2 shots but not the booster? Who pays those salaries? Now with the time change Seahawk fans get to be stuck in traffic for the first half.
Im more baffled at the time slots the teams were given…west coast teams early game and east coast teams late game?
So will the Nfl and NFLPA do the right thing and refund 100% of ticket charges for the fans they screwed over?? I’m just joking, we all know they won’t.
Ticket charges plus the many that travel and booked airfare, rental cars and hotels.
TV revenue is the only thing that matters to the NFL.
Broadcast the games, even if the stands are half empty, and Roger Goodell is happy.
