Time Change for Key Vikings, Packers Game Under Flex Scheduling

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL will use its flexible scheduling option the first week it's available this season. The key NFC North matchup between the Packers and Vikings on Nov. 22 will switch from 1 p.m. to 4:25 p.m. on Fox. Green Bay is 6-1 and Minnesota is 5-2.

Also, the NFL is moving a matchup between Cincinnati and Arizona into prime time.

The league announced Monday that the Bengals-Cardinals game Nov. 22 will be on "Sunday Night Football." Cincinnati is currently undefeated and Arizona is 6-2.

It replaces the originally scheduled Chiefs-Chargers matchup, which moves to 4:05 p.m. EST on CBS.

Week 11 is the earliest the NFL can switch out the Sunday night games.

The league also said Monday that the Nov. 15 game between the Bears and Rams will move from Fox to CBS. This is the second season the NFL can "cross-flex" some Sunday afternoon games from one network to the other.
