After 8 primetime or holiday TV appearances, the '25 Cowboys will quietly end their season in the early-afternoon window of games on the final Sunday.

The New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders are already making NFL history ahead of a Week 17 game, and it's of the worst kind.

The Dallas Cowboys now know how they will close out the 2025 NFL season by facing the New York Giants. The league confirmed the schedule for the regular-season finale, setting up a familiar divisional matchup with meaning beyond the standings.

Fifteen of the top 18 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft order changed hands in Week 17, including the No. 1 overall selection. Dan Parr runs through Round 1 and highlights each squad's five biggest needs.

Here is what needs to happen for the Giants to finish first in the order--and why finishing second might not be as disastrous as it seems.

The Giants have held the first overall pick twice in franchise history: in 1951 (Kyle Rote) and 1965 (Tucker Frederickson), but that was prior to the common draft post the league's 1970 merger. They held the No. 2 pick in 2018 when Saquon Barkley was their selection.

In order to secure the first overall pick, the Giants will need to lose to the Cowboys and finish 3-13, while the Raiders will need to beat the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s a relatively unlikely scenario, but considering the Chiefs are reeling, there’s still a real chance of it happening.

"Monday Night Football" and the 2025 NFL season continue Monday when the Los Angeles Rams visit the Atlanta Falcons for a Week 17 battle.
