Eagles-Cowboys: Game time, how to watch and stream ‘Sunday Night Football’

The Eagles are in Dallas to face off against the hated Cowboys Sunday night on NBC. It’s the 11th-straight season the rivals have faced off on Sunday Night Football, the longest streak on the broadcast primetime package in NFL history.

Calling the game for NBC will be longtime play-by-play announcer Al Michaels, who is in his 34th season calling primetime football (13 at NBC). Michaels will be joined in the booth by analyst Cris Collinsworth and sideline reporter Michele Tafoya.

“There is a distinct buzz — whether it’s in the Linc or at AT&T Stadium — that you feel and hear when you have these two teams matched up. It doesn’t matter where we do the game. There is something special and you can feel it with the crowd,” Michaels told The Inquirer. “I just love doing these games, just love it.”

Fans should expect to see Michaels and Collinsworth roll out a segment spotlighting the four players they’d select for an Eagles’ Mt. Rushmore. The feature — part of the celebration of the NFL’s 100th anniversary — was initially planned for Week 2′s match-up with the Falcons. But NBC had to bail because the game was “too wild” thanks to late lead changes, a rash of injuries, and highlight-worthy plays that kept viewers on the edge of their seats.

Sadly, another thing fans should expect is a continuation of the spotty officiating that has plagued the NFL this season. Nearly every week, questionable calls have impacted the outcome of games, leading the NFL to dish out fines to multiple players who took their comments public.

"It’s almost a weekly occurrence that something is disputed and analyzed. I don’t have an answer for it, " Michaels said. He praised NBC for adding retired NFL referee Terry McAulay as a rules analyst before last season.

“Through the years we’ve been able to handle almost all situations. But it’s now become so complicated, and there are many calls with multiple parts to them,” Michaels said. “To have Terry in the booth, as someone who not only understands the rules inside-out, but who has been down on the field and can give you the perspective of the field officials, has been of immense value to the show.”
