The You don't have to worry about another short week this season. The NFL has extended its Week 16 game against the Cleveland Browns.
The game was originally scheduled for Thursday, December 19th on Amazon Prime Video. They will now play on Sunday, December 22nd at 1pm ET on FOX.
The Denver Broncos will take over the place on Thursday evening at the Los Angeles Chargers. This game was originally scheduled for Sunday at 4:05 p.m. on FOX.
This step is understandable. The Broncos and Chargers could both be playoff teams this season, while the Bengals and Browns have a combined record of 7-15, although the Browns upset the Steelers in the snow on Thursday night.
So now the Bengals have been flexed in and out of a primetime spot. They have a Monday night game coming up against the Dallas Cowboys on December 9th, a game that has already been announced as not being rescheduled due to the Simpsons production the league is planning for that game.
The first Thursday night flex: The Denver Broncos' game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16 will move to Thursday Night Football on Prime Video, while the Cleveland Browns' game against the Cincinnati Bengals will be played on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET on FOX becomes.
