NBC will show the division round clash between the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
That game will kickoff at 3 pm ET, meaning an earlier start than what they’re used to during the regular season.
NBC usually broadcasts Sunday Night Football with kickoff just after 8 pm ET.
They have a studio show Football Night In America on air from 7 pm ET every week.
But for this Sunday, that will become more like football lunchtime with a 2 pm ET start for Maria Taylor and the crew.
CBS usually shares Sunday afternoon slots with Fox in the regular-season.
But they have been given the marquee showdown between the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills this weekend.
And that game will kickoff at 6.30 pm ET with Jim Nantz and Tony Romo on the call.
Romo apparently leaked the schedule before it was announced.
Or he was at least manifesting to be able to work on that game.

Nantz and Romo called the Buffalo Bills’ wild card win over the Denver Broncos last weekend.
And in the late stages of that dominant Bills win, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback began looking ahead to the division round.
“Two MVP candidates playing the best football of their career,” Romo said of the clash between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen.
“It’s a coin flip to me,” he added on the broadcast.
“I can’t want to do that game with you next week, buddy,” Romo then said to Nantz.
NFL division round schedule
Sat 18 Jan, 4.30 pm ET (ESPN/ABC) – Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs
Sat 18 Jan, 8 pm ET (Fox) – Washington Commanders at Detroit Lions
Sun 19 Jan, 3 pm ET (NBC) – Los Angeles Rams at Philadelphia Eagles
Sun 19 Jan, 6.30 pm ET (CBS) – Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills
His partner laughed off Romo’s remark, which may have just been the former quarterback trying to manifest it into happening.
“That’s the game I’ve been waiting for,” Romo added.
The division round will kickoff Saturday at 4.30 pm ET with the Houston Texans against the Kansas City Chiefs.
ESPN and ABC will broadcast that game before handing over to Fox for the prime time clash.
That will feature the Detroit Lions taking on the Washington Commanders.
