THE NFL has announced a huge broadcasting change in the penultimate week of the regular season.
In a last-minute decision, the Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles game has been moved from the 4:25pm ET national window slot.

It has now been scheduled for the 1pm ET window.
The NFL has moved the game in favour of a different fixture.
Instead, the meeting between the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings will take the early evening slot.
The Packers-Vikings game was originally due to take place at lunchtime.
But it has been moved because the game is considered to be more exciting and appealing.
The Cowboys were eliminated from playoff contention last week despite a 26-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Meanwhile, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is an uncertainty for the match due to injury.
In contrast, the Packers and Vikings still have some high stakes to play for.
The meeting is set to be a high-profile NFC North contest.
The Vikings are still in the hunt for the No1 seed in the NFC.
If they are able to keep pace with the Detroit Lions this weekend, a final week showdown will determine who secures the first round bye.
