 Typically, such games will be scheduled for prime time under the NFL's flexible scheduling policy (provided their result does not carry potential playoff implications for other teams; the NFL's current scheduling rules dictate that Week 17 games with mutual playoff implications always start at the same time).For example, the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys entered the final week of the 2011 NFL season tied at 8-7 for first place in the NFC East.The teams, scheduled to play in Dallas, were both out of contention for a wild card berth, meaning the winner of the game would win the division, while the loser would miss the playoffs altogether.
