For causes that actually don’t add up, the Buffalo Bills’ sport Sunday at Highmark Stadium in opposition to the New England Patriots is being flexed from 1 p.m. into the way more seen 4:25 window on CBS.
Why the NFL would need extra eyeballs on a sport between the red-hot 11-3 Payments and the putrid 3-11 Patriots is sort of a thriller, however there you’ve gotten it.
This may make 5 straight Payments video games not at 1 p.m., and the fourth out of the 5 that begins at 4:25.
Flexing video games is comprehensible for a big-time matchup that might not have been foreseen when the schedule was being created, however to inconvenience followers who had already made their journey plans for a 1 p.m. begin, for a sport that figures to be one-sided, is sort of a transfer by the NFL.
There are two inconsequential video games initially scheduled on CBS within the late window – Dolphins vs. 49ers and Raiders vs. Jaguars. As a result of the Raiders gained’t be pushed into a ten a.m. West Coast begin, we are able to assume Payments-Patriots might be changing Dolphins-49ers, however once more, if that’s the case, it is unnecessary. Each the Dolphins and 49ers are nonetheless clinging to life within the playoff race.
