It also I believe depends on the who has the rights to that game initially. Every channel can refuse one flex to “keep their game safe” as it were. You can bet your ass that if they tried to flex Lions / Bills, CBS was going to tell them where to stick it.
I’m assuming it’s FOX obviously, and if they say “no it’s the game of the week at 4:30”, I’m not sure anything can be done about it.
Are you kidding me? Teddy Two Gloves coaches a high school team to a state championship and returns to take over a NFL team on the precipice of a 1st round bye and Division Championship? They would be drooling over that.
In this case, they aren’t getting flexed. All games for week 18 are not scheduled and set to TBD. I don’t think the networks can prevent anything. I’m going on the assumption that it will be SNF. I have pregame field passes for the game and tickets. I was really hoping it wouldn’t be prime time.
This is very, very possible.
I don’t believe that any week 18 rights are locked in. Every Sunday game is listed as TBD.
No more guessing. Vikings at Lions, week 18 highlight game. It is booked. I wonder, how did the Lions do last time they had this honor?
Super stoked. It’s gonna be a great game.
I think we win, but no matter what happens they’re still in the playoffs, with guys coming back. So #1 seed or #5 seed bring it on.
