NFL Sunday Night Football takes place tonight with a massive game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles. This game is packed with Playoff implications and both teams will be going all out for the win. The game has a scheduled start time of 8.30 p.m. ET and takes place from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The game can be watched on TV on the NBC network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Cardinals will be looking to claim the NFC West title tonight with a win against the Eagles. However, the Eagles themselves are in a three way tie at the top of the NFC East, and with it being likely that only the title winners in the division will be progressing to the postseason this is virtually a must-win for Philadelphia if they are to keep their hopes alive.
Arizona is on the back of a seven game win streak coming into today's game, and they will be hoping to maintain that momentum and claim a first round bye in the Playoffs.
The Cardinals lead the NFL with 59 passes of 20 yards or more, with 10 of those resulting in touchdowns. They are also averaging a league best 417.5 yards per game. So the Eagles will have their work cut out to stop this immense offense tonight.
Eagles defensive coordinator Billy Davis said, "We know Arizona's going to take 6-to-8 shots a game. That's what they do. That's part of the reason they are the No. 1 offense in the NFL in a lot of categories right now. We've got to stay disciplined."
Earlier in the week, the Dallas Cowboys were finally put out of their misery and confirmed as eliminated as postseason contenders. On Saturday night the Cowboys hosted the New York Jets, and although the game went right down to the wire, Dallas were yet again on the wrong side of a tight result to leave them lagging on 4-10 and out of the Playoff picture.
The Jets moved to 9-5 after Randy Bullock kicked a 40 yard field goal with just 36 seconds remaining to hand New York a 19-16 win on the night. The field goal was set up via a Ryan Fitzpatrick 43 yard pass to Kenbrell Thompkins as the quarterback continues to establish himself.
The win for the Jets puts them half a game ahead of both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs who remain on 8-5 coming into Sunday's games. The race for the two Wild Card sports in the AFC will likely go down to a contest between these three teams, and the Jets need to make sure they win out to give themselves the best chance of making the postseason.
The New York Jets appear to be hitting their best form at the right time, as they have now gained their fourth straight win in a row - the first time the franchise has done that since back in 2010.
