Nothing official yet, but source says look for Saints-Rams and Saints-Carolina games to move to late afternoon time slot. SNF unlikely in Weeks 12 and 13.

Don't expect to see the Saints and Rams playing on Sunday night.

A source says it's not expected to happen.


There has been a lot of talk that the Week 12 meeting between the two teams could be flexed to the primetime slot since it features two teams sitting atop the NFC, but it looks like the game will stay put.

The Sunday night game, which is considered the league's premiere television slot, for that week is currently scheduled for Green Bay and Pittsburgh.


The Saints and Rams are both 7-2 and are considered to be contenders in the NFC. The game, which will be played in Los Angeles, is currently scheduled for 3:05 p.m.

New Orleans could see some of its other games get moved to either Sunday night or the late afternoon spot. In Week 13, the Saints are scheduled to host the Carolina Panthers (7-3), in what could prove to be a pivotal game in the NFC South race.

The only primetime game currently remaining on New Orleans' schedule is a Thursday night game against the Falcons on Dec. 7.

Saints/Rams is already late afternoon.

Maybe they're talking about moving it to CBS for the doubleheader?

Green Bay minus Rodgers still has more pull. Nice.

So 3:25 instead of 3:05 for TV?

At least we found out that it had nothing to do with Green Bay/Pittsburgh being the matchup NBC wants, rather it having to do with The Coliseum not wanting the Rams having a night game due to lease obligations. I feel more content knowing that’s the reason.

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the game already have to be scheduled for the afternoon slot to be moved to SNF? Meaning that the Saints/Panthers game could only get moved to the 3:05/3:25 slot from 12:00?

EDIT: Which would also mean SNF is only available for the Rams game?

Why the hell would Saints/Rams be on CBS?

ETA: how is CBS allowed to show two top NFC teams?
