| NFL on FOX Doubleheader Game #1: Early Games - 1:00 PM ET (Cowboys at Eagles, Raiders at Saints or Colts at Giants):
Live coverage for Sunday's Week 17 NFL on FOX doubleheader starts at 1:00 PM ET, as the early afternoon games will be getting underway. FOX will be splitting three games across the country at this specific window of 1:00 PM ET, including Cowboys at Eagles (87% of Markets), Colts at Giants (10% of Markets) and Raiders at Saints (3% of Markets). Let me set you up for Sunday's 1:00 PM ET contests on FOX with my version of a game preview.
DeVonta Smith and the Philadelphia Eagles (12-3) get another shot of clinching the NFC East with this NFC East matchup against DaRon Bland and the surprisingly competitive and halfway decent Dallas Cowboys (7-8) on Sunday, December 29 at 1:00 PM ET on Fox. Despite the Cowboys getting eliminated from playoff contention last week, it's important to mention that LB Micah Parsons and his squad has won four of their past five games, including last week's stunning 26-24 "Sunday Night Football" win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Eagles had their franchise-best 10-game winning streak snapped against the Commanders last week, losing 36-33 to the Commanders, in addition to losing quarterback Jalen Hurts with a concussion and safety CJ Gardner-Johnson due to two unsportsmanlike penalties getting called. The Eagles can close out the NFC East title with a win or a Commanders loss to the Falcons last week. With the Eagles' hopes for the NFC's #1 seed all but over (barring a late-Christmas miracle), Philadelphia now has the NFC's #2 seed in their sights. Eagles WR AJ Brown had 8 catches for 97 yards and 6th receiving touchdown of the season last week vs. Washington. Eagles CB Darius Slay had a season-high 3 passes defended last week vs. the Commanders. 🎙 Sunday's Cowboys at Eagles duel will be televised by Fox, as Joe Davis provides play-by-play commentary with analyst and three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen. Pam Oliver handles reporting duties from the sidelines.
Jonathan Taylor and the Indianapolis Colts (7-8) attempt to keep their slim playoff hopes alive against Kayvon Thibodeaux and the dismal New York Giants (2-13) on Sunday, December 29 at 1:00 PM ET on Fox. Last week, the Colts got a very important 38-30 win over the Titans, as Indianapolis kept their very small playoff chances intact. However, Indianapolis needs to continue to win, as they trail Denver by two games for the AFC's seventh and final playoff spot when two weeks to go. A Colts loss (or wins by the Chargers and Broncos) would knock the Colts out of playoff contention. So, Indianapolis needs a WIN in the worst way to keep their aspirations of making the AFC playoffs alive in 2024. Colts QB Anthony Richardson totaled 201 yards (131 passing yards, career-high 70 rushing yards) with 97.2 rating last week vs. the Titans. Colts LB Zaire Franklin had 7 tackles last week vs. the Titans. 🎙 Sunday's Colts at Giants game will be televised by Fox, with play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert and analyst and Super Bowl champion linebacker Jonathan Vilma calling the action. Megan Olivi contributes to the telecast as the sideline reporter.
Darnay Holmes and the Las Vegas Raiders (3-12) head to New Orleans (this year's Super Bowl site) to face off with Tyrann Mathieu and the New Orleans Saints (5-10) on Sunday, December 29 at 1:00 PM ET on Fox. 🎙 Adam Amin calls the play-by-play for Sunday's Raiders-Saints game for Fox, working with game analyst and former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez and sideline reporter Kristina Pink.
| NFL on FOX Doubleheader Game #2: America's Game of the Week - 4:25 PM ET (Packers at Vikings):
The Week 17 NFL on FOX doubleheader continues Sunday at 4:25 PM ET with another edition of America's Game of the Week. This week, the entire country (100% of Markets) will be treated to an exciting NFC North matchup with playoff implications as the Green Bay Packers travel to Minneapolis to face the Minnesota Vikings. Extra information about this matchup will be given in the following paragraph.
Jordan Addison and the Minnesota Vikings (13-2) concluded their 2024 regular season home slate by hosting Romeo Doubs and the Green Bay Packers (11-4) on Sunday, December 29 at 4:25 PM ET on Fox. Last week, Green Bay recorded the first shutout of the 2024 season by blanking the Saints 34-0 on "Monday Night Football". The Vikings are the hottest team in the NFL right now with eight straight wins coming into Week 17, including last week's 27-24 win over the Seahawks in Seattle. This game is a meaningful one for both Green Bay and Minnesota. For the Packers despite a great 11-4 record, Green Bay will enter the 2024 postseason as a Wild Card team (as Green Bay can't win the NFC North, as either Minnesota or Detroit will be awarded the NFC North championship). Currently, the Packers have the #6 seed in the NFC postseason (a game ahead of the #7 seeded Washington Commanders). The Vikings are battling with the Lions not only for the division, but for an opportunity to get the #1 seed in the NFC (and attain homefield advantage throughout the NFC playoffs). The Vikings are slotted as the #5 seed in the NFC as we enter Week 17. The Vikings scored the first 28 points in a 31-29 victory over the Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 4. Since 2000, the Packers are 28-19-2 in regular season games vs. the Vikings. With Minnesota's 13th regular season win last week, Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell joins Matt LaFleur and George Seifert as the only head coaches to post at least 13 wins in two of his first three seasons as a head coach of a particular franchise. 🎙 Sunday's Packers at Vikings matchup will be nationally distributed on Fox, with play-by-play commentator Kevin Burkhardt, analyst and seven-time champion Tom Brady, and sideline reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi constructing the commentary team.
| Postgame: "The OT presented by Ford" - 7:30 PM ET:
When the final whistle blows in the Packers at Vikings game, the "FOX NFL Sunday" guys will summarize Sunday's football happenings from Los Angeles during the "The OT presented by Ford", which is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM ET (or earlier/later, pending the game outcome in Minneapolis). Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Michael Strahan, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson and Jay Glazer will furnish viewers with scores and highlights from Sunday's games, postgame analysis from the studio panel, and any breaking news updates emerging from Sunday's games.
