The first “Monday Night Football” flex schedule will take place on Dec. 18 with the Eagles at the Seahawks replacing the Chiefs at the Patriots on ESPN/ABC.
Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City will now play at Foxborough on Sunday, Dec. 17 on Fox in a 1 p.m. kickoff.
The behind-the-scenes maneuvering is very interesting and underscores how, in the NFL’s new $110 billion TV deal, more potential flex scheduling has actually meant less flex scheduling.
This first MNF switcheroo is the first prime time flex game of any kind this season.
