Unlike last season when we had two flexes between Weeks 5 and 10, the NFL has elected to use its first flex of the 2015 campaign in Week 11, November 22. This is like the previous TV contract when the first flex could only happen in Week 11.
And with Kansas City at San Diego originally scheduled in the Sunday Night Football slot, the National Football League has decided to move it out of primetime and into the 4:05 p.m. regional window on CBS.
In its place, the NFL will give the more attractive Cincinnati at Arizona matchup to NBC. In addition, Green Bay at Minnesota which was originally scheduled for the early Sunday afternoon window will move to 4:25 p.m. ET and remain on Fox.
So on Sunday, November 22, we’ll have eight early games and three late games bringing up the topic about frontloading the early windows.
So here’s how the schedule shapes up for Week 11 in the League Where They Play for Pay:
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19 (WEEK 11)
| TENNESSEE AT JACKSONVILLE | 8:25 PM (ET) | NFLN |
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22

Another note, the NFL announced that in Week 10, November 15, Chicago at St. Louis originally on Fox at 1 p.m. ET will air on CBS at the same time meaning both networks will have four games in the early afternoon window.
