Sunday Night Football takes place tonight with a massive game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles. The winner is likely to win the NFC East division, so this game is packed with Playoff implications.

This Sunday Night Football match up will start at 8.30 p.m. EDT, and takes place from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The game will broadcast on the NBC network but will also be available to watch online through live stream - free for subscribers - via the link provided below.

Coming into this game both teams are tied at the top of the NFC East with 9-4, however, it is the Eagles who have the advantage and so occupy the top spot. Both teams will see this as a must win game, especially after the Eagles faltered last week.

The Eagles had put clear space between themselves and the Cowboys in Week 13 when the two teams came head to head - the result being that the Eagles destroyed the Cowboys 33-10.

However, Philadelphia followed that win with a loss last week against the Seattle Seahawks, allowing the Cowboys to once again pull up alongside them on 9-4.

After this game there are just two weeks left of the regular season, and the Eagles will end the season with two road games; first they will travel to Washington to face the Redskins, and on the final day of the season they will go on the road to New York to battle the Giants.

The Cowboys meanwhile, will return home after tonight's game, but will have a massive test of their credentials when they face the Indianapolis Colts. On the final day of the regular season they will go on the road to face the Washington Redskins.
