The Dallas Cowboys are one win away from keeping a two-decade tradition alive. No team has repeated as NFC East champions since the 2003 and 2004 Philadelphia Eagles. With both the Cowboys and Eagles sporting identical 11-5 records, the tiebreaker process is a central conversation piece entering Week 18.

If the Cowboys win their sixth and final division match, at Washington, they take the division for the second time in three years. If they lose the opportunity is afforded the Philadelphia Eagles. As such, the NFL will have both teams kick off at the same time, 3:25 pm Central on January 7.

The league holds the kickoff time for all Week 18 games until the playoff scenarios are pretty much locked in. Here’s a look at all of the key NFC matchups, along with the full slate.
