Tuesday Night Football to Air Tonight on NBC, First Since 1946

Tuesday is usually a day off for NFL players, but the Philadelphia Eagles host the Minnesota Vikings Tuesday night in a nationally televised game that was switched from Sunday night due to an impending blizzard.

You can catch the game right here on WKYC starting at 8 p.m.

The decision to postpone the game at Lincoln Financial Field was made Sunday amid the threat of a storm that eventually dumped about a foot of snow in the Philadelphia area. The storm was accompanied by high winds.

"The discussions with the league were all about public safety. That was paramount," says Don Smolenski, Eagles chief operating officer. "That, I think, in the end really was what drove the decision."

This is the first NFL game played on a Tuesday since 1946.
