I learned this game is a flex game and just curious with Cousins being out ROS and Broncos just beating the Chiefs if this still will be flexed out of Sunday night game? Would this be announced today? Going to be visiting Denver for the first time that weekend and wanting to make it to the game.
Current Flexible Scheduling Procedures
Flexible scheduling is in effect during the following windows (the “Flex Scheduling Windows”):
For Sunday Night Football, it may be used up to twice between Weeks 5-10, and at the NFL’s discretion during Weeks 11-17;
For Monday Night Football it may be used at the NFL’s discretion in Weeks 12-17;
For Thursday Night Football it may be used up to twice between Weeks 13-17.
During the Flex Scheduling Windows, the games initially scheduled for Sunday Night Football (on NBC), Monday Night Football (ESPN or ABC), and Thursday Night Football (on Amazon Prime) are tentatively scheduled and subject to change;
Only Sunday afternoon games (or those listed as TBD) are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, Monday night, or Thursday night, in which case the initially scheduled Sunday, Monday, or Thursday night game would be moved to Sunday afternoon;
- this is the most important point because the only afternoon games that week are: TB/SF, NYJ/BUF, and SEA/LAR so the league will have to determine if one of those games are better than MIN/DEN.
Remember, we just had CHI/LAC on SNF so…
Fans and ticket holders must be aware that NFL games in the Flex Scheduling Windows are subject to change generally at least 12 days in advance (and at least 6 days in advance for Sundays in Weeks 14-17) and should plan accordingly.
- Looks like you might have to wait until November 7 (12 days prior to the game) to find out.
Sunday afternoon games may also be moved between 1:00 p.m. and 4:05 p.m. or 4:25 p.m. ET.
