NEW YORK - The NFL has moved the Tampa Bay-Dallas game on Dec. 18 to prime time.
As part of its flex scheduling for Sundays, the league switched the Buccaneers' visit to the Cowboys, who already have clinched a playoff berth. Tampa Bay is 7-5 and tied for the NFC North lead. Dallas is 11-1 and in front in the NFC East, which the Cowboys can clinch next week with a win against the Giants.
Pittsburgh's visit to Cincinnati, originally scheduled for night time in Week 15, has been moved to noon (Central time).
The switch means Dallas will appear on Sunday night in successive weeks. Its next game at the Giants is in prime-time, too.
