The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 3-1, and the NFL is taking notice.
The Bucs were initially scheduled to play the Detroit Lions at home for “creamsicle day” at 1 p.m. EST in Raymond James Stadium, but the NFL decided that wouldn’t do. With one of its first schedule flexes of the regular season, the league has flexed this game to be played at 4:25 p.m.
As per Greg Auman of FOX Sports, the game will be played on FOX and will air alongside Cardinals-Rams and Eagles-Jets in that window. This will be the second time as it stands that the Bucs will play in a similar window, as the team will play the Jacksonville Jaguars at 4:05 at home on Christmas Eve.
