The NFL considered moving the Week 8 Eagles-Commanders game out of prime time. In the end, the NFL decided to stay put.<\/p>\n
Via multiple reports, the rematch of the Week 1 game between NFC East rivals will be televised nationally by NBC and Peacock on Sunday night, November 1.<\/p>\n
Rob Tornoe of the Philadelphia Inquirer, who first reported that the NFL was thinking about<\/a> moving Eagles-Commanders out of the Sunday night spot, reports that the league strongly considered<\/a> replacing it with Browns at Steelers.<\/p>\n In past years, there has been a rule requiring one of the two home-and-home games between division rivals to be televised on Sunday afternoon. The fact that the league considered moving Browns-Steelers to Sunday after their Week 4 game in Cleveland was played on Thursday night shows that, if the rule still exists, it\u2019s more of a guideline.<\/p>\n Either way, it\u2019ll be the 2-4 Eagles (who don\u2019t have their starting quarterback) and the 1-4-1 Commanders instead of the 4-2 Browns and the 4-2 Steelers in a game that would have featured Mike Tomlin\u2019s return to Pittsburgh and Cleveland\u2019s reward for claiming first place in the AFC North after six weeks of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL considered moving the Week 8 Eagles-Commanders game out of prime time.
