NFL Schedule 2024: Cowboys-Eagles, Packers-Vikings Start Times Flexed in Week 17

The NFL is giving the Minnesota Vikings' Week 17 matchup maximum exposure.

The Vikings and Green Bay Packers' Sunday game has been moved into the afternoon slot and will kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET, the NFL announced on Monday.

The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles will meanwhile have their game moved up to 1 p.m. ET that afternoon.

The Vikings have a viable path to the No. 1 seed in the NFC if they win out following the Washington Commanders' upset of the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday.

The Packers could clinch a playoff spot on Monday night with a win over the New Orleans Saints, but a loss could send them into Week 17 with a postseason berth on the line.
