Cowboys-Eagles to be flexed?

We know the Cowboys' game against the New York Giants will remain on Sunday night on Dec. 14 for NBC to pull down mega numbers. That's no surprise.

What about their finale at Philly on Dec. 28?

The Cowboys could find themselves closing the year with three straight night games if their finale at Philadelphia is moved from a noon kickoff to NBC. Both teams have one more prime-time opening available. (Their Dec. 20 Texas Stadium farewell against Baltimore will be on NFL Network at 7 p.m.)

While the league determines the start times of games on Sunday's no later than 12 days prior to the weekend, the Week 17 flex scheduie decision may be made on six days notice. In other words, they will try to determine the playoff implications in other Week 17 matchups before making a switch.
