NEW YORK—The Eagles-Bears matchup Nov. 22 will remain the Sunday night game even though NBC had the option of picking another contest.

The NFL's flexible scheduling policy goes into effect that week for the rest of the season. But the league announced Tuesday that the network decided to stick with the original matchup, which could have NFC wild-card implications.

Philadelphia is 5-3 and in second place in the NFC East going into this weekend's game at San Diego. Chicago is 4-4 heading into Thursday's game at San Francisco.
