Chiefs-Bears Sunday night game might get flexed [nope]
OK by me
https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nf...238274933.html NFL reportedly may want to flex Chiefs-Bears game out of ‘Sunday Night Football’ slot When the 2019 NFL schedule was released, the Chiefs’ game on Dec. 22 in Chicago checked all the boxes for being broadcast in prime time. Two teams with playoff aspirations, star power in Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and the connection between the head coaches. The Bears’ Matt Nagy was an assistant under the Chiefs’ Andy Reid. That is why the game was scheduled to be broadcast on NBC on “Sunday Night Football.” Alas, the playoff implications appear minimal for both teams and the NFL is considering flexing the game out of prime time, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. The deciding factor will come Sunday when the Bears play in Green Bay. Chicago has a 2% chance of making the playoffs, according to FiveThirtyEight.com and the New York Times. Both say a Packers will would give the Bears a less than 1% shot at the playoffs. “The game would likely be replaced by the Saints-Titans,” the Sun-Times wrote. “The league typically has a 12-day window to ‘flex’ their Sunday night game. But when Tuesday came and went, the league confirmed that it shifted to a six-day window for the Week 16 game. “ Tennessee, 8-5, is currently in a tied atop the AFC South with the Texans, but Houston holds the tie-breaker and is the fourth seed in the playoff field. Houston plays at Tennessee on Sunday. The Saints still have a shot at the top spot in the NFC playoff field. If flexed, the Chiefs’ game would be moved to the afternoon. The NFL schedule currently shows the Saints-Titans game set to kick off at noon and be broadcast on CBS. You can read more of the Sun-Times story here. |

Too bad the world won't get to see the long-awaited first round of Trubisky vs. Mahomes.

My dad and some friends are going to this game. Dad was worried about the cold, so I'm sure he wouldn't mind it being a noon game.
They only thing that would suck is if you paid more for your tickets thinking it was a prime time game whenever you wouldn't have paid that much if they were just another noon game. |

I’d like it to be flexed. Road night games are never easier than a day game.

good. I hate SNF.
I know I'm in the minority, but I can't stand that broadcast and Football night In America. Collinsworth is awful and grating.
