FLEX ALERT:

 

In Week 6 (October 15, 2023), Detroit at Tampa Bay has been flexed from 1 PM to 4:25 PM to be the featured game on FOX. This replaces Philadelphia at New York Jets, which was the previous feature game.

 

Jets are still Jetting, lol. Now 1-3.

The league doesn't want a larger potential audience for that impending debacle.

 

I agree. They would flex if they had a good alternative, the large Chicago market notwithstanding. The NFL gambled Chicago would be good this year. [They did get it right with Detroit though.]

Surprised it wasn't flexed. The Browns @ Ravens or the 49ers @ Jaguars would have made for a better SNF game.

No doubt the Jets signing Saffold played into it - and the "resurgent" Zach Wilson of course.  Also by then Rodgers may be able to play 😉

Those are definitely better games but the Jets and Vegas have large followings, whereas JAX, CLE, and BAL do not.

I'm kinda surprised the Bills vs Jets MNF game week 1 isn't on there. I have read reports that it was the highest rated MNF game of all time

 

I thought the same especially with all of the Rodgers hype leading up to week 1.

Gotta think our primetime rematch with the Bengals this Sunday night will crack the top 5, right?  

 

I would hope, but there are three matchups this week with both teams at two losses or fewer (MIA-KC, SEA-BAL, DAL-PHL), but BUF-CIN is not one of them:

I'm guessing it allows CBS to expand the Texans/Broncos game to 1:00 game to most of the country since Fox has the national window game at 4:25 with 49ers/Eagles.  Nobody wants to watch Carolina and Tampa.
