One other change to the Eagles’ schedule

For the second week in a row, the NFL has flexed a Philadelphia Eagles recreation to an earlier time slot.

Beforehand it was the Eagles’ Week 8 highway recreation towards the Cincinnati Bengals getting moved up from 4:25 PM Japanese to a 1:00 PM begin time.

Now it’s the Eagles’ Week 9 residence recreation towards the Jacksonville Jaguars being bumped up from an 8:20 PM begin on Sunday Evening Soccer to the late recreation window at 4:05 PM. The matchup will now be televised on CBS as a substitute of NBC as initially meant.

Whereas the Eagles have been bumped out in favor of the Caleb Williams vs. Jayden Daniels in Week 8, they’re being changed with … Anthony Richardson vs. Sam Darnold … in Week 9 when the Minnesota Vikings host the Indianapolis Colts. OK, then.

Form of attention-grabbing to see the Eagles get flexed out once they’ve received their final two video games to advance to 4-2. However a part of the equation in Week 9 is that the Jacksonville Jaguars have regarded actually dangerous. Doug Pederson may be very a lot on the recent seat, although he did purchase himself a bit of extra time with a Week 7 win.

As somebody who stays up late working after Eagles recreation, I’m selfishly not too torn up about earlier begin occasions. However I get that it’s annoying for out of market individuals who profit from the sport being on nationwide tv.

What say you concerning the flexing?
