NFL Does Not Flex in Week 16

The non-flexing this season continues in the NFL. Only one flex game and that was in Week 13. For Week 16, the Sunday Night Football game between Dallas and Washington will remain in place. There is one move from an early afternoon game to late afternoon and I’ll allow the NFL press release to explain.

NO CHANGE IN NBC SUNDAY NIGHT GAME;
