Steelers-Bengals game Nov. 15 flexed to later time slot
At 6-0, the Pittsburgh Steelers are becoming popular with the NFL schedule makers.
It was only a matter of time until one of the Steelers’ games was flexed out of a 1 p.m. timeslot, and that happened Tuesday.
It’s just that it didn’t involve any of their AFC North games against the 5-1 Baltimore Ravens or 5-2 Cleveland Browns.
Instead, the Steelers learned their Nov. 15 game in Week 10 against the 1-5-1 Cincinnati Bengals at Heinz Field was moved to a 4:25 p.m. time slot. The game will be televised by Fox.
The game Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium is the sixth in a row for the Steelers in the early afternoon time slot. They will play at 4:25 p.m. Nov. 8 at the Dallas Cowboys.
