NFL Cannot Flex Bengals-Cowboys ‘Monday Night time Soccer’ for Hilarious Motive

The December 9 Monday Night time Soccer matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys regarded very interesting when the schedule was launched months earlier than the season kicked off. A late-season prime time matchup between two prolific quarterbacks on groups anticipated to be competing for the playoffs is a recipe that hardly ever fails the NFL.

After all, as soon as the video games began to be performed, it rapidly turned clear December 9 wouldn’t convey a status recreation. The Cowboys and Bengals proved to be flawed, underwhelming groups from the outset of the season. Now, three weeks earlier than the sport, Dallas is lacking Dak Prescott and Cincinnati is sort of out of the playoff image.

The NFL has a mechanism for when prime time video games aren’t as vital as they’re purported to be late within the yr. Networks like ESPN can work with the league to “flex” the sport out of the time slot and exchange it with a extra attractive contest. Thus, after the Bengals misplaced to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night to fall to 4-7, many anticipated Bengals-Cowboys to be flexed out and changed by a extra aggressive matchup.

Who would have guessed that Homer Simpson can be the rationale tens of millions can be subjected to a subpar soccer recreation as a substitute of 1 with stakes and high quality play?

What a world.
