Flex Scheduling (Chiefs vs Chargers)

8
Just as the six major college football conferences have done for many years, the NFL will have the flexibility to move the start times of games on Sundays, using a 12-day notice format. For example, a game scheduled for a Sunday could move from a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to an 8:15 p.m. start, but the change would be made and announced no later than the prior Tuesday, 12 days prior. So if I'm interpreting this correctly, the decision will have to come this Tuesday and we will know by Wednesday if the Chiefs at Chargers game will be flexed to Sunday Night Football on NBC for December 12th. Currently the game scheduled is Philadelphia at Dallas. Another Cowboys game on prime time? NBC is drooling.
