Seahawks vs Rams SNF - Flexed?

[timmat]

I'm not up to speed on all the details of the flex rules, but is there a chance we get flexed out of the Sunday night game this week? There's some other big games on the schedule that wouldn't surprise me if the NBC folks figure would interest the national audience more - 49ers Saints, Chiefs Pats, etc. Pats were just on SNF, as were the 9ers the week before, and Saints were just on Thanksgiving night. So maybe we're safe this time.

Too late to flex next week's game even if they wanted to, and they don't. The Sea@Rams game has huge playoff implications for the NFC which means it merits a primetime slot.

:ditto: Yeah, what he said. They would have had to announce it last week. Plus, other games will be protected by the other networks. There are a lot of big games this weekend, especially with so many NFC teams sporting great records.
