NFL Flexes in Week 14

As expected, the NFL has used its muscles to flex the Patriots-Seattle game out of primetime and put Washington-Baltimore in its place. Notice that we have 6 late games which is something I like. Kind of strange for CBS to have 4 games at 4:05 p.m ET and Fox just has two late games at 4:15 p.m., but I’d rather have a decent mix of early and late games. That’s close to my ideal schedule.

Here’s the official word from the National Football League:

FINAL WEEK 14 SCHEDULE:

REDSKINS-RAVENS TO BE NBC SUNDAY NIGHT GAME ON DEC. 7;

PATRIOTS-SEAHAWKS MOVES TO 4:05 PM ET ON CBS

The Week 14 Washington Redskins-Baltimore Ravens game on Sunday, December 7 will be played at 8:15 PM ET on NBC and the New England Patriots-Seattle Seahawks game that day will move to 4:05 PM ET on CBS, the NFL announced today.
