NFL moves Dec. 1 Steelers-Browns game to 1 p.m. kickoff
The NFL changed the start time of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rematch with the Cleveland Browns on Dec. 1 to 1 p.m.
The game originally was scheduled to kick off at 4:25 p.m. The game still will be televised by CBS.
Replacing the Steelers-Browns in the 4:25 p.m. time slot will be the Oakland Raiders’ game at the Kansas City Chiefs.
The switch means the Steelers will play five of their final six regular-season games at 1 p.m., barring another change under the NFL’s flex scheduling option.
The Browns defeated the Steelers, 21-7, on Thursday night for their first win in the series since 2014. The Steelers are 5-5 heading into their game Saturday against Cincinnati. The Browns are 4-6.
