Overview
- Per league rules, Sunday night games can be flexed up to twice in Weeks 5–10 and any week in Weeks 11–17, Monday night games in Weeks 12–17, and Thursday night games up to twice in Weeks 14–16 with roughly 21 days’ notice.
- The Jets–Patriots matchup in Week 11 could not be moved because Thursday games are not eligible for flexing that early in the season.
- A league spokesman told USA TODAY that Prime Video’s Thursday night audience is up 14% year over year, with Sunday night up 9% and Monday night up 17% this season.
- USA TODAY details that logistics, network protections, international dates and fan travel burdens often leave few viable midseason swaps even when matchups underwhelm.
- CBS Sports reports no game has been flexed through Week 11, the Week 12 window is locked, and the first realistic opportunity is Week 13, when the league could consider moving Broncos–Commanders off Sunday night depending on results and deadlines.
