For the first time in the 2025 regular season, the NFL has implemented its flexible scheduling system to change the kickoff time of a Thursday afternoon, the league announced that it has adjusted the start times for a pair of Sunday games in Week 14 https://www.gbpackersoutfit.com/green-bay-packers-david-bakhtiari-jersey, one of which involves the Green Bay Packers are scheduled to host the Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field on Sunday, December 7th, with the game originally set for 12:00 Noon Central Time on , Thursday's announcement pushes that game back to the late afternoon time slot, now kicking off at 3:25 PM out of that time slot is a game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills, which swaps places and moves into the early reasons for this change are Bears are leading the NFC North as of this writing, with their 73 record putting them a halfgame up on the 631 Week 14 contest will be a massive one for the race to win the division at the end of the season, and both teams are guaranteed to at least have winning records when the game is appears that FOX expected BengalsBills to be their best game of the day when the league's schedule was released in May, but that is not the case thanks largely to Cincinnati's struggles this Bengals currently sit at 37, having gone 17 since Joe Burrow was injured in a week 2 win over the Jacksonville with Burrow on track to return between now and Week 14, PackersBears is a much more compelling matchup from the perspective of an unaffiliated football fan, given its importance in the division race and in the NFC playoff other game on FOX in the late afternoon features the Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals, and due to geographic concerns, that game could not move into the early time meant that BillsBengals had to be the game to move up to make room for Green PackersBears to get an extremely wide FOX audience that afternoon, with RamsCardinals likely limited to those teams' local broadcast 's Sunday Night Football game in Week 14 features the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs, a game that could also have significant playoff implications for those two neither can potentially be leading their respective divisions by then, it should still be a significant enough game in the AFC, which helps explain why PackersBears did not move all the way into prime Brett Favre Jersey, the Packers have already played in a pair of SNF games this season, and NBC may have designs on flexing another game later on in the season instead.
