What Pittsburgh Steelers games are eligible to be flexed to/from prime time?

A tweet from independent NFL reporter René Bugner breaks down all NFL prime-time games with flex potential. The Steelers have just two games that could be flexed from their current spots: Week 5, home versus the Dallas Cowboys and Week 7, hosting the New York Jets.

The NFL doesn’t flex Monday Night Football matchups until starting Week 12, so there’s no threat to their Week 8 game versus the New York Giants being bumped.

Similarly, flex scheduling for Thursday Night Football starts Week 13, keeping Pittsburgh’s Week 12 game against Cleveland in its current slot.
