Sunday Night Football in Week 15 is gearing up to be a fantastic one. The Dallas Cowboys (11-2) will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-5) for an 8:30 p.m. ET kickoff on Sunday, Dec. 18. NBC will carry the game with Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth in the booth.

Tampa Bay is tied atop the NFC South standings with the Atlanta Falcons entering Week 5. The Buccaneers have won five straight games since Atlanta handled them on Thursday Night Football. Tampa Bay is pushing for its first NFC Playoff berth since the 2007 NFL season. The Cowboys will be their toughest test of the season.

Dallas enters play at 11-2 atop the NFC East standings. However, the Cowboys have lost the head-to-head tiebreaker with the New York Giants (9-4) should it come down to that at regular season’s end. A win over the Buccaneers makes things so much easier for the Cowboys to get home field advantage in the NFC Playoffs.
