The flex is in

The NFL has “flexed” this game from it’s original 1:00 p.m. kickoff to 4:25 p.m. on FOX. They reserve the right to change the time of games accordingly this time of year and chose to move five games that have playoff implications to the late slate from the early slate.

For Giants fans, this is nothing more than a nuisance, especially for those attending in person. Those who had made plans for an early kickoff will now have to restructure their day. This could result in many Giant fans selling their tickets on the secondary ticket markets, making way for more Eagle fans to desecrate MetLife Stadium.

Thom Brennaman and Chris Speilman will once again draw the assignment for FOX with Shannon Spake on the sideline.
