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.



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?

I wish they would move the Christmas Eve Atlanta game to later.

This shouldn't be a surprised. There was no way they were moving Steelers-Packers especially when both teams have winning records and are in the playoff hunt. Not to mention the viewership both franchises bring to networks.

I'd say no this happened in 2013

Unless rules have changed

It's official: the New Orleans Saints vs. Carolina Panthers Week 14 game has been flexed to NBC's Sunday Night Football on December 8th, 2013. We knew this was coming.


Bob Costas just made the announcement during halftime of tonight's Broncos vs. Patriots Sunday Night Football game.

The Saints vs. Panthers game was originally scheduled for 1:00 p.m. EST but it will now replace the Falcons vs. Packers game, originally slated for SNF.

That makes three straight primetime games for the Saints (Falcons, Seahawks, Panthers) and we know how well the Saints do in front of a national audience.
