I am completely baffled by this probable non-flex. No matter what angle you tackle this from, this makes absolutely no sense.
Records? Self explanatory.
Markets? Philly & DC give you the 4th & 8th largest media markets, & you probably only need to flex Philadelphia in twice to a night game. But if they’re that concerned about maxing out the Eagles on night games, then choose Jags-Steelers. It gives NBC Trevor Lawrence, along with a ratings gold team in Pittsburgh.
Finally, the Bears will probably be starting Thomas Bagels in this one, NULLIFYING THE ENTIRE REASON this game was even Sunday Night. (Justin Fields)
All in all, this is one of the worst flex scheduling decisions, & I think that this is the 8th worst flex decision the NFL has made.
I say 45 minutes, because the NFL has until 8:20 ET tonight to make a decision on whether or not this game stays, as that is exactly 12 days until the kickoff of Week 8 SNF.
Also, Rams-Cowboys & Bengals-49ers are most likely protected by FOX & CBS respectively, which is why I didn’t list those games as potential flex options.
