It just doesn't have the appeal most anticipated before the start of the season. The NFL has flexed Week 15's matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys off of Sunday Night Football. It will now take place on Sunday, December 20 at 10 a.m. PT at AT&T Stadium, and will be aired on CBS.
The Cleveland Browns at the New York Giants will replace 49ers-Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.
NFL has flexed Week 15 Browns-Giants game to Sunday night on NBC. Niners-Cowboys moves to 1 ET on CBS. Jets-Rams kicks off that day at 4:05 ET on FOX.

San Francisco entered the season as a Super Bowl contender. Injuries have ravaged the roster this season, and the team sits at 5-7. Dallas, also dealing with its own injuries this season, is 3-9 after a Tuesday-night loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
The move leaves the 49ers without another prime-time game for the remainder of the season. Below are the team's remaining games.
- Washington, Sunday, December 13 at 1:25 p.m.
- at Dallas Cowboys, Sunday, December 20 at 10:00 a.m.
- at Arizona Cardinals, Saturday, December 26 at 1:30 p.m.
- Seattle Seahawks, Sunday, January 3 at 1:25 p.m.
