JUST IN: Shock as NFL latest announcement leaves fans devastated

For the first time ever, the NFL will implement flex scheduling for a Thursday Night Football game. The league announced Friday that the Cleveland Browns’ upcoming matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals has been rescheduled from December 19 to December 22. The game will now start at 1 p.m. instead of 8:15 p.m. local time and will be broadcast on Fox instead of Amazon Prime. In return, the Denver Broncos’ game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Inglewood, California, has been moved to December 19 from December 22. The Broncos and Chargers currently hold a combined record of 13-8, while the Browns and Bengals sit at a combined 7-15. The NFL is allowing Thursday Night Football flex scheduling in 2024 as a trial; this is the league’s first use of the technique. A decision must be made no later than 28 days before to the game.
