Eagles-Vikings Game On Dec. 26th Now A Prime-Time Affair

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- If you enjoyed watching the Eagles under the prime-time lights on Sunday night (as they beat the Cowboys 30-27 -- see related story), here's some good news: you'll get to do it again in two weeks.

As part of its "flex" scheduling, the NFL has moved the Eagles game on the day after Christmas at the Linc with the Minnesota Vikings from a 1:00 PM kickoff to an 8:20 PM start.

This will represent the Eagles' sixth prime-time game this season.  They have won the first five.

This news comes on the heels of the news that the Eagles' win over Dallas on NBC's "Sunday Night Football" matched the highest preliminary rating in the show's five years.

The game earned a 16.5 overnight rating and 25 share, to equal last year's Giants-Cowboys matchup that opened Dallas' new stadium.
