As the playoff picture starts coming into focus, the NFL is flexing the Eagles-Commanders game in Week 16 to earlier on Saturday evening, with kick-off now set for Dec. 20 at 5:00 PM ET, and the Packers-Bears game moving to the primetime at 8:20 PM ET.
It’s not really surprising the league would change things up given the Eagles unimpressive offensive performances, and the Commanders sitting at 3-9 and solidly in third place of the NFC East. This will be the first time the two division opponents will face off this season, but with injuries and disappointing results, this game looked a lot more exciting before the season actually got underway.
The Packers and Bears, however, are competing for the NFC North with both teams looking at postseason implications. The Eagles are 3-1 against the NFC North, and will be hoping Green Bay ends up with a road win in Chicago.
The Eagles have already played on Thursday night, Black Friday, in all three Sunday timeslots, and on Monday night — this Saturday game will check off another day of the week.
