Pats-Bills to be "flexed" to prime time

The NFL just announced that the first game to be moved under "flexible scheduling" is the Nov. 18th Patriots-Bills game from Ralph Wilson Stadium.

With New England undefeated and the idea that they could go 16-0 seeming less ridiculous in the wake of yesterday's win over Indianapolis, the league and NBC want to capitalize.

Thus, the 1 p.m. game will now be played at 8:15 p.m., and becomes the sixth prime-time game on the Pats' schedule -- they've already played Sunday night against the Chargers, Monday night in Cincinnati, and have a Sunday night game with the Eagles, Monday night game in Baltimore, and Saturday night season finale against the Giants still to go.
