The Pittsburgh-Indianapolis game that stay is staying on NBC for Sunday Night Football, but the Carolina-New Orleans contest was flexed from 1 p.m. to 4:25 to be a part of a national doubleheader. To fill the 1 p.m. void, FOX plucked the Bengals-Browns game from CBS.
The Bengals likely will have another schedule change in Week 15, which will involve a network and time change. Cincinnati currently is slated to play at San Francisco on Sunday Night Football, but with the 49ers struggling at 3-7 several more attractive matchups on the docket that week a change is expected.
If the Bengals-49ers game is flexed out of primetime, it would start at either 4:05 or 4:25 p.m. EST.
The list of Week 15 games that would draw more national interest are:
Houston at Indianapolis. The teams are currently tied for first place in the AFC South.
Carolina at New York Giants. A potential 13-0 Panthers team playing in the league's biggest media market.
Denver at Pittsburgh. Two teams with huge national followings that appear playoff bound.
