Reports began to surface last night that the National Football League was going to flex the Week 13 Sunday night game between the New York Giants and DC NFL Team out of primetime and put the Arizona Cardinals at Philadelphia Eagles in its place. But as soon as those reports began to surface, the NFL put the kybosh on them.
I won’t link to the report as there’s no need to provide you with a debunked story, but suffice to say it was out there for a few hours.
Anyway, the only flex for Week 13 was the previously announced move of Denver at Kansas City being moved into the 4:25 p.m. ET slot for CBS and the Patriots-Texans game sent to an early timeslot from 4:25 p.m.
Here’s the announcement made by the National Football League through NBC Sports.
WEEK 13 FLEX SCHEDULING:
GIANTS-REDSKINS REMAINS ON NBC’S SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
The final Week 13 NFL schedule was announced today with the originally scheduled December 1 New York Giants at Washington Redskins game remaining in place on NBC’s Sunday Night Football.
It was previously announced that the Week 13 New England Patriots-Houston Texans game will be played at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and the Denver Broncos-Kansas City Chiefs game at 4:25 PM ET on CBS.
