The league announced that the Eagles will host the Cowboys on Sunday, with a chance to clinch the NFC East. With Dallas out of playoff contention, the game has been flexed to the 1:00 PM slot.
With two teams in the NFC North (Vikings and Lions) having 12-3 records and the Packers having a 10-4 record entering Monday night, the NFL chose a stacked division race over one of the league’s top rivalries.
Flex! The NFL has moved Sunday’s #Packers–#Vikings game into the 4:25 p.m. ET slot. #Cowboys–#Eagles moves to 1 p.m.

The Eagles (12-3) will look to sweep the season series with the Cowboys (7-8) for the first time since 2011 and wrap up the division title. The Cowboys have been eliminated from playoff contention but want to play spoiler. Dallas has won four of its last five games and knocked the Buccaneers out of first place in the NFC South.
Cooper Rush will start as the Cowboys’ quarterback. He has a 9-2 career record as a starter in the NFL against teams other than the Eagles but is 0-2 against Philadelphia.
