Vikings-Packers season finale flexed to Sunday Night Football

Packers have one last primetime appearance before the postseason begins.

The NFC North-deciding tilt between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings has moved from its original 12 a.m. CT kickoff to primetime on NBC's Sunday Night Football.

In recent years, the NFL has scheduled divisional games for Week 17 in the hope of creating more playoff-relevant matchups for the regular season's final week. The plan seems to have worked, as the Packers' last three season finale's have determined the NFC North champion. Sunday's game marks the second Green Bay-Minnesota matchup during that stretch.
