For Sunday night on NBC and Peacock, it will be the Atlanta Falcons visiting the Washington Commanders on Dec. 29, at 8:20 p.m. ET. The previously scheduled matchup of the Miami Dolphins at the Cleveland Browns will now be played at 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS.
On Saturday, all three games will include teams with postseason stakes on the line.

The Broncos (9-5) are now comfortably in the AFC playoff picture after a big win in Week 15. On the other side, the Bengals (6-8) need to win out and get some help from other teams to rejoin the field.
The Cardinals (7-7) will visit the division-leading Rams (8-6) in the nightcap where each team still has a chance to make the playoffs by virtue of winning the NFC West.
The Sunday night game will see the Commanders (9-5) looking to solidify their NFC wild card spot, while the Falcons (7-7) are still alive to win the NFC South.
Week 18 is now the only set of regular season games with times and dates still to be announced.
