Cold Weather Expected for Cowboys-Redskins Finale, and More NFC East News

I know this probably won't shock anyone except Lloyd Christmas, but it could be a factor so we'll relay word from CSN Washington's Rich Tandler that this week's NFC East championship game between the Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys could have freezing temperatures. 

The forecast calls for snow on the weekend in D.C., according to Tandler. But while that's expected to clear up before the game, which was flexed into prime time, a cold front could make it quite uncomfortable Sunday night. 

Tandler says the current high is forecasted to be 37 degrees, which is just a notch above freezing. But the move to an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff surely will cool things down even more. 

Neither team has played in freezing temperatures this season, according to the game books provided by the NFL. 

On to what else is being talked about in the league's most popular division.
