NFL has until Tuesday to decide whether to flex Eagles-Commanders out of prime time

The NFL faces a tight deadline to decide whether to move the Eagles and Commanders out of Sunday night prime time in Week 8, with the league’s decision due by Tuesday. Both teams are currently struggling, with Philadelphia at 2-4 and Washington at 1-4-1, making the matchup less appealing for viewers.

The Ravens-Bills game is the most logical replacement, though Baltimore’s Thursday night game the following week could complicate scheduling. Another option is Vikings-Lions, but that would require committing to a future flex in Week 15.

Colts-Jaguars is another possibility, though the Jaguars’ bye week guarantees they’ll enter at 4-2, while the Colts—who fired their general manager and face the Vikings on Sunday—could be 2-5 by then. Rivalries like Browns-Steelers and Chiefs-Broncos are off the table due to league rules mandating at least one afternoon game for home-and-home division matchups.
