Oakland at Kansas City has moved from 1:00 PM ET on CBS to 4:25 PM ET on CBS. Cleveland at Pittsburgh has moved from 4:25 PM ET on CBS to 1:00 PM ET on CBS.
The Cleveland Browns’ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers has been moved back to Noon Arrowhead Time.
With the Chiefs’ recent struggles and the Raiders playing well, the NFL opted to give the game a more attractive time slot. The Chiefs won their first game against the Raiders this season 28-10 back in Week 2.
As of this writing, both teams are 6-4, so the matchup could be pivotal in deciding the AFC West division-winner. The Chiefs play the Los Angeles Chargers in Mexico City on Monday night with hopes of holding onto their division lead heading into the bye week.
