Eagles-Cowboys Flexed Out of 4:25 Window

The Week 17 matchup between the Eagles and Dallas Cowboys will no longer be "America's Game of the Week" on FOX.

Eagles-Cowboys has been flexed out of the 4:25 ET window in favor of Green Bay Packers-Minnesota Vikings, a matchup with two teams jockeying for playoff position:

As strange as it is to see a network demote a game involving the Eagles and Cowboys, Dallas has been eliminated from the playoff race. Meanwhile, the 10-4 Packers will travel to U.S. Bank Stadium to face off with the 13-2 Vikings. When you consider that the Detroit Lions are also 13-2, this Packers-Vikings matchup will go a long way not only in determining who will win the NFC North, but the No. 1 seed in the NFC postseason. 

According to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, the Eagles will have the FOX broadcast crew of Joe Davis, Greg Olsen and Pam Oliver for the second week in a row. 

The Eagles will wear their Kelly Green throwbacks for the second time this season during this matchup. Whether Jalen Hurts will clear concussion protocol in time to be under center in the popular threads is unclear.
