>From a podcast interview with the NFL’s VP of Broadcast Planning: flexing is done to move playoff relevant games from 1 PM to prime time. So it’s not a simple matter of looking for games that will draw more viewers. The Chiefs and Patriots (Chiefs in, Patriots out) is less relevant than Eagles and Seahawks (Eagles in, Seahawks contending).
And the 4/4:30 national games get more viewers (30 million) than Sunday night (28 million) so the networks won’t agree to flex them to prime time.
