NFL flexes Bears-Packers out of Week 5 prime afternoon slot
Original: NFL makes flex scheduling move for Week 5: Bears-Packers gets bumped out of prime afternoon slot
The NFL has used flex scheduling for Week 5, moving the Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers game out of its featured prime afternoon television window. It is a rare early-season scheduling change involving one of the league's most storied rivalries, and it means the matchup will no longer be shown in the flagship national slot that week. The league is reshuffling its broadcast lineup after three weeks of the season.
Why now: The NFL rarely flexes games this early in the season, and doing so to a marquee Bears-Packers rivalry has surprised fans.
