Flexible NFL could create better Sunday match-ups

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2397614

• Begins Sunday, Nov. 12 in Week 10.
• In effect Weeks 10-15 and Week 17. Plan not in effect Week 16 because of holiday weekend.
• Only Sunday afternoon games are subject to being moved to Sunday night.
• During flex weeks, majority of Sunday games will be listed at 1 p.m. ET, except for games played in Pacific or Mountain Time Zones, which will be listed at 4:05 or 4:15 p.m. ET.
• Thursday, Saturday and Monday night games not affected.
• NFL will give 12 days notice if a game is being moved to the 8:15 p.m. ET time slot and also may announce games moving to 4:15 p.m. ET.
• CBS and Fox each can protect a total of five games in seven weeks of flexible scheduling, but not more than one game per week.
