Of you mean, big deal for the NFL? Simple to get the most interesting games later when more Americans are available to watch, enjoy and get interested in their product.


Why do you think they put the Bengals @ Steelers game on last?

Because if the Bengals lose to the Broncos on Monday night then the Bengals @ Steelers game effects 5 AFC teams playoffs possible seeding which will have at minimum those five teams fans interest watching the game.

Get the most interested and most interesting games last.

If it's moved to primetime it means non locals can get it. First and foremost.

If your team is flexed into a later Prime time slot it also means you can drink way more before the game starts in most cases.

If your team is flexed it also means you are NOT a Viking or Bear fan.

Or sadly.. A Raider fan as well.

Most of the above, and it also means Packers/Lions will be playing the same time as The Rams/Seahawks.

If someway(it's happened before), The Rams can pull the upset in Seattle, The Packers could be playing for that #1 seed!!!

The NFL likes the drama that can be created.

More interest in all the games.

If you wanted to know why America's Team, the Green Bay Packers, didn't get flexed to SNF, here is your explanation from Peter King's MMQB column from SI.com...

“In the past four years, we’ve taken the Sunday night game in Week 17 from FOX. We thought it was fair to take the game from CBS this year, seeing that we had a very good CBS option in Cincinnati-Pittsburgh. In the end we felt it was CBS’s turn.”---NFL's Senior Vice President of Broadcasting, Howard Katz
