On Tuesday the NFL announced that the December 4 Indianapolis Colts – New England Patriots game has been flexed from primetime on NBC back to a 1 p.m. start. Once considered a marquee match up, the game has lost its luster due to a season long injury to Colts QB Peyton Manning and the Colts being winless heading into Week 10.
With the game being placed in the 1 p.m. timeslot it will now be aired as part of the CBS regional coverage that Sunday. At this time the NFL and NBC have not replaced the game for Sunday Night Football. According to the broadcast contract they have until November 22nd to select the primetime game.
