The NFL is moving the Eagles at Seahawks game during Week 15 to Monday Dec. 18, making it the first game to be flexed into Monday Night Football in the league’s history. The game, which was previously scheduled for Sunday afternoon, will replace Chiefs at Patriots, which will now be played on Sunday, Dec. 17 at 1 p.m. ET.
This is the first year the NFL approved flexing games into Monday night late in the season, allowing for games to move days depending on the competition level. With the Patriots sitting at just two wins, and both Seattle and Philadelphia in the playoff race, the NFL decided Eagles-Seahawks is the better option for primetime.
