The prime time matchups this year are freakin brutal. Even moving forward. Cant wait for the Steelers/colts matchup
"Flexible scheduling" for Sunday night may be used twice between Weeks 5-10, and during Weeks 11-17. https://www.nfl.com/schedules/flexible-scheduling-procedures
That would be awesome. Jets/bills was the first game this year I got to watch, ha e had to listen to all the others on nfl+.
This is interesting--I wonder to what extent agreement is needed from the network who has the game scheduled originally. Why should they give up a good game to NBC?
I think each network (Fox/CBS) picks one game that they (NBC) cannot touch and it is protected from being moved. Outside of those two games, NBC can take anything in the 1:00 slate.
So if that’s the case I don’t see the Jets-Pats being flexed. CBS only has three early games scheduled - the Jets-Pats would be the one they protect. CLE/BUF and PHI/IND are the other two…..
Yeah, prob right then. I don't remember if NFL had the final say in who gets moved or flexed, but I'm pretty sure the networks get to each protect a game from being moved and if that is the case, it'll stay at 1:00 b/c nothing else is appealing. Also Pitt gets a big drawing no matter what and Bengals with Burrow are a good watch.
Yeah I was thinking that also. The Bengals are still the AFC champs and the Steelers are always a draw. I think that game probably doesn’t get flexed out - there aren’t many other good matchups that weekend anyway.
I guess they can flex whatever game they want but surprised they put Bengals at 4:00. Why not do a three way switch and put Bengals at 1 and Jets at 4?
