Kansas State 2000 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) NEW YORK -- The Chicago Bears' game against the New York Giants at the Meadowlands on Nov. 12 was switched Tuesday by the NFL from an afternoon to a night game, the first under the flexible scheduling format implemented in the new television contract. The 8:15 p.m. ET game will be televised by NBC instead of Fox. Under the format, the Sunday night time slot had been left vacant, with CBS and Fox each allowed to protect five afternoon games over seven weeks of the season. Each has chosen four and will pick one more. The first of many good switches to come. Edited October 25, 2006 by Kansas State 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not realize that the 2nd game on the involved weekends were part of the flexible scheduling, but it is to compensate the networks for losing a day game or something like that.

Somewhat true, but the NFL put all games played in the Eastern and Central time zones as early games from weeks 10-17 so they can decide which ones they want to move to the late games.
