NFL Won't Flex in Week 12

This was announced earlier this week by the National Football League. For Thanksgiving Week, Week 12 in the NFL, there won’t be any flexing. That means the Sunday primetime game on NBC, Green Bay at the New York Football Giants won’t be going anywhere.

Plus, no Sunday afternoon games will be moved to the late window which means three late afternoon games. So the schedule remains the same for Week 12.

In addition, this is the week of three Thanksgiving Day and night games on CBS, Fox and NBC. That’s right, NBC gets a Thanksgiving game for the first time since 1997 when it had the AFC package.

Here’s the NFL schedule.

WEEK 12 FLEX SCHEDULING:

NO CHANGES TO THANKSGIVING WEEKEND SCHEDULE;
PACKERS-GIANTS REMAINS NBC SUNDAY NIGHT GAME

The final Week 12 NFL schedule was announced today with the originally scheduled Green Bay Packers at New York Giants game remaining in place on NBC’s Sunday Night Football.

The announcement was made a week early to allow fans and teams to finalize travel plans for Thanksgiving weekend.
