The Carolina Panthers’ upcoming schedule has had a primetime contest thrown into the mix.
Announced on Tuesday on NFL Network, the league has flexed two Week 15 games into Saturday slots, among those is the Panthers’ trip to visit the Green Bay Packers (7-3) that weekend. The two NFC foes will now kickoff at 8:15 p.m. on Dec. 19.
That change in schedule gives the Panthers (4-7) a second primetime game this season. Their first occurred against the Atlanta Flacons on Oct. 29. The Falcons won that outing, 25-17.
In addition to Panthers-Packers, the Bills-Broncos matchup in Week 15 was also flexed to a 4:30 p.m. start prior to Carolina’s outing. Both games will be aired on NFL Network.
