    So, as I'm sitting here thinking that maybe this team has finally turned the corner, I wonder if any of their games could be flexed this year. I am specifically thinking about Week 17 (partially because I have tickets to go to that game). Here's the scedule of the games that are eligible of being flexed:
    Browns-Ravens
    Colts-Titans
    Jags-Texans
    Chargers-Chiefs
    Jets-Dolphins
    Bills-Pats
    Bengals-Steelers
    Oakland-Denver

    As of right now, the way the NFL scheduled it, there is no specific game slotted for Sunday night. The NFL will make the determination that week as to which game it wants on Sunday night. So, of those eligible games, wouldn't it seem like the Bengals-Steelers game would be the most competitive of the bunch? The only other one I could conceivably see is the Chargers-Chiefs.

    So, I guess what I'm asking is provided the Steelers keep their momentum, what are the chances they close out the season on Sunday night?

    You're only allowed five night games I believe. Unless we get pulled from the Monday night game I don't see us getting any others. Maybe more 4:00 games?

    I was just doing some reading on this and WOW, you need to be a brain surgeon to figure this out. Last week Fox and Cbs protected games that could not be flexed through week 16. Week 17 is wide open as what they called the playoff watch begins. Pretty much what i gathered is the game with the biggest playoff implications will probably be played Sunday nite week 17. If there are several games then the best matchup will get it.
