Which means no Bills on Boston TV Sunday. 

What happens if all 4 division champs are 11-6?

 

Titans have the tiebreaker over the Bills. Bills would have it over the Chiefs. I think the Bengals have it over the Bills.

I don't think it would be decided by head-to-head in that scenario.  

 

Then I have no idea. Conference record? Right now they list the Bills behind the Bengals but if they all end up 11-6 then I would be curious to see what seed the Bills get.

Interesting tidbit about the schedule flex.  With Chiefs playing Saturday and Cincy 1p Sunday, the Bills could be playing for both the Division crown and Number 2 Seed and they would know it before kickoff.  

 

And even crazier a NE win at Miami and losses by Buffalo, KC and Tenny makes NE #1 seed.  

 

Long shot for sure, but so is Boyd catching a long TD pass on 4th and 10 in the waning seconds from Dalton to beat Baltimore.

What is the reasoning for flexing? I get moving a primetime matchup to a night game. But why change a matchup like Bills/Jets to 4:25? 

My guess is it technically is a larger viewing audience for the 4:25 slot and the division is in fact on the line. So anything even remotely on the line will be better viewership from a networks point of view.

Why are they flexing it?


Because there’s something riding on it. The majority of the 1pm games have very little impact on the post season; yes, the Bengals’ seeding needs to be sorted and the Steelers could make the play offs if they win out and the Jags shock the Colts but all in all they’re nothing games. Whereas the late afternoon games either have something riding on them or the conference has something riding on it so are being played in the later slot.
