@AdamSchefter If the Giants beat Dolphins tonight (8:30 PM, ESPN), Giants at Vikings game on Dec. 27 will move to NBC Sunday Night Football at 8:30 PM ET. If the Giants lose or tie tonight, the Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens will be Sunday Night Football game on Dec. 27.

Is.. is this 'clench' the playoffs thing an honest mistake or am I missing a reference of some sort? :lol:

Honest mistake. I should know to check what my text to speech writes before pressing submit. Damn you technology!

I think it would be great to play the Giants in Primetime and then possibly follow that up with a primetime game against the Packers at Lambeau.

Hey, if we can't win, why does it matter if we make the playoffs? And if we do win, why not flaunt our team for the nation to see?

I mean it would definitely be nice to play GB at home in the playoffs although we've played well on the road this year. Nothing would make me happier than to beat the Packers in the playoffs. If we lose to them week 17, so be it. I trust Zim to game plan well. They always say it's tough to beat a team 3 times.

How about we just beat Green Bay in back-to-back primetime games? That would be fun! :)

I remember the Giants beating us a few times, late in the season, and knocking us out of the playoffs. Would rather get in them, then worry about prime time games. Cause its feels like forever since 2009.

Here is hoping they flex it, im fairly sure at the very least it will become the late afternoon game of the week.

That would be nice. Otherwise, I'm going to end up getting the Bears/Lions game here.

I've kind of assumed that the game would be flexed for weeks now. It isn't official, but it should be a great game with playoff implications.

Prelude to what's to come during offseason free agency? Vikings now one of the prettier girls at the dance if Zygi/Rick flash enough $$ to catch their fancy?
@GoesslingESPN Former Browns DT Phil Taylor is trying out with the #Vikings today.
‏@Andrew_Krammer Taylor, formerly Baylor, said he's chosen visits 'wisely' since he left Cleveland. #Vikings 'winning program' attracted him for tryout
