Anyone that knows me, knows that I’m HATING this. My GMEN have been finished and watching Romo & the Cowboys collapse last week was great — BUT watching Romo come through in the clutch this week hurt my heart. Lol. SMH. Well the Cowboys/Eagles NFC East title game has been flexed to prime time Sunday night. Hit the jump for details…
Via NFL.com:
The NFL announced Sunday night that the game between Dallas and the Philadelphia Eagles to decide the NFC East title was flexed into prime time. This is the third consecutive season that the Cowboys have played in the Sunday night regular-season finale, and this will be their third different divisional opponent. The host Cowboys are looking for their first division title since 2009.
The Eagles and Cowboys played in a similar do-or-die game to make the playoffs in 2008, with Philadelphia coming out on top.
The league also announced that both the Buffalo Bills-New England Patriots matchup and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers-New Orleans Saints game were moved to 4:25 p.m. ET. The NFL tries to ensure there are no competitive advantages based on time of game in Week 17, and thus, attempts to create a situation where every team has something at stake.
