The Dallas-Washington matchup Dec. 27 will remain the NFL’s Sunday night game even though NBC had the option to choose another one.
The league said Monday that the Denver-Philadelphia game that day will start at 4:15 p.m. EST instead of 1 p.m.
The league’s flexible scheduling policy allows it to change the Sunday night game to select a better matchup starting in Week 11.
The game could have major playoff implications for the Cowboys, who are 8-5 before playing at the undefeated Saints on Saturday. The Redskins are 4-9.
