NBC and the NFL Announce Panthers-Saints Flexed to Primetime in Week 14

This had been speculated after Carolina beat the New England Patriots last Monday night and even more so after Carolina came back to win over Miami this afternoon. Now it’s official. In Week 14, the Carolina Panthers-New Orleans Saints game will be moved from its original early Sunday afternoon timeslot into primetime for NBC.

This means that NBC can promote another tasty quarterback matchup with Cam Newton vs. Drew Brees.

The original primetime game, Atlanta at Green Bay will be moved out of Sunday Night Football into the early 1 p.m. window on Fox.

We have the official announcement from NBC and the National Football League for you.
