The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills will play each other Sunday. Normally, it would be a CBS broadcast, but that’s not the case this week.
Patriots-Bills will be the first large instance of the NFL’s new flex scheduling guidelines, in which the league can start moving games as early as Week 5. Normally, non-prime-time games featuring AFC teams as the road team would be shown on CBS, NFC road teams on FOX. That doesn’t matter as much anymore.
The hope is that the new scheduling makes for a more even schedule across the networks.
Here are this week’s NFL viewing maps via 506 Sports.
CBS
FOX, 1 p.m. ET games
FOX, 4:25 p.m. games
