The showdown between Philadelphia and Dallas for the NFC East title is being moved to prime time next Sunday night.

For the third straight year, the Cowboys will play a division rival in the finale with the East championship at stake. Philadelphia (9-6) leads Dallas (8-7) by one game, with the winner moving into the playoffs and the loser being eliminated.

So the NFL switched the game to 8:30 p.m. ET at the Cowboys' stadium.

Also moving are Buffalo at New England and Tampa Bay at New Orleans to 4:25 p.m. ET.

Green Bay (7-7-1) at Chicago (8-7) for the NFC North championship also will be a 4:25 p.m. ET game. The loser goes home.
