Vikings, Eagles Sunday Night Game Postponed
Sunday, December 26, 2010 at 1:33PM Looks like we will have Tuesday night football this week.
The NFL moved the Vikings at Eagles game from Sunday night to Tuesday because of an expected blizzard that could dump up to 20 inches snow on Philadelphia.
The game will be played at 8 p.m. EST., and will be televised by NBC.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter declared a snow emergency as of 2 p.m. EST Sunday.
The Vikings already have had two home games affected by the weather this season. Their game against the Giants on Dec. 12 was postponed a day after Minneapolis got 15 inches of snow. It was then moved to Detroit when the Metrodome roof collapsed.
Their game against Chicago the following week was played at the University of Minnesota’s outdoor stadium because of the damaged roof.
NBC was uncertain what it would broadcast Sunday night in place of the game, although a spokesman said the regular “Football Night in America” would be on the air from 7 p.m.-8:30 p.m. EST.
