Only way would be if Brady was traded to dallas last off season
And the 9-0 cowboys were gonna play the 9-0 patriots.

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

The Packers are not making the playoffs, and the Packers don't have national appeal while Rodgers is injured.
This decision is a slap in the face to the Saints if it happens. You can't deny this is the best game and the purpose of flex scheduling is to give us the best game.

The NFL and RG hate the Saints. No shock here.

So, when is the latest we will know if Saints/Carolina game will be moved?

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'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.

NFL says the the purpose is to ensure quality matchups. No promise of the best game is mentioned.

Which is why it's important to keep winning.

I hate 3:25 games.

I hate 325 CBS games

The Packers are 5-4 and with a win jump to at least the 7th seed after this week. Whether you think they will make the playoffs or not, it doesn't matter. They're in contention and their fan bases across American will tune in which would crush the ratings of any Saints game

If that's the case why aren't the Rams playing the Vikings this week on Sunday Night?

Eagles get first well-deserved shot at SNF this weekend. And it's the Cowboys and you know the NFL will go bankrupt if the Cowboys don't play in front of a national television audience.

Why the hell would Saints/Rams be on CBS?
ETA: how is CBS allowed to show two top NFC teams?

Same could be said about the Steelers

Much better for a 3:00 game. By the time you get out of game, go get dressed, it’s time to go out for Christmas Eve dinner. Hate the noon game. Plus gives you time to tailgate.

NFL laxed the rules a year or 2 ago just for this situation
basically... if CBS wants a better top game for the 3:25 time slot if it's their DH week... they can request a game that would normally be on Fox but have to give a game back in return
there's already been a few "cross-flex" games this season
ETA: case in point... week 7... Seahawks @ Giants was on CBS while Jets @ Dolphins was on Fox
