NFL Does Some Minor Flexing In Week 14

As we approach the final weeks of the regular season (much too soon, I might add), we get this announcement from the National Football League about the Week 14 schedule. The only move for this week is the Oakland-Green Bay, originally a 1 p.m. East game which will be a 4:15 p.m. contest remaining on CBS. It goes from being a regional telecast to a late national window. The NFL had considered moving either New England-Washington or Oakland-Green Bay to the 4:15 p.m. timeslot and the league chose having the Packers in the late slot with the potential to go 13-0.

NBC’s primetime game, New York Football Giants at Dallas remains as the network’s Sunday Night Football selection.

Other than that, all games in Week 14 remain in their slots. Here’s the press release from the National Football League.

WEEK 14 FLEX SCHEDULING:

RAIDERS-PACKERS MOVES TO 4:15 PM ET ON CBS ON DEC. 11;
GIANTS-COWBOYS REMAINS ON NBC
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

The final Week 14 NFL schedule was announced today with the originally scheduled New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys game on NBC’s Sunday Night Football remaining in place. The Oakland Raiders-Green Bay Packers game will move from 1:00 PM ET to 4:15 PM ET on CBS.
