4. Don’t be surprised by a flex-in
Flex scheduling in the NFL starts as early as Week 5. Therefore, a bevy of Texans games thereafter are eligible to get moved up to Sunday night.
As the season progresses and the Texans prove themselves to be a hot ticket, games such as the Cleveland bout in Week 10, the Chicago game in Week 14, the Indianapolis game in Week 15, the Bengals game in Week 16, and the finale with the Titans in Week 17 could be subject to going to NBC for “Sunday Night Football.” That would certainly help the Texans’ primetime numbers going from two to possibly three or more.
