The NFL Schedule Flexibility
Flexible scheduling for Sunday night games can start as early as week five, usually on a two-week runway. Some cases like week 15 may have only one week notice. Monday night flexibility starts around week 13, and Thursday night around week 14, all are four weeks out. CBS and Fox each protect a game weekly, and Monday night gains extra scrutiny for flexing. The team responsible for the NFL schedule consists of key members like Oni Bose and Blake Jones who bring experiences from big events like Stanley Cup, a small group of 6-8 people handle the 272 games worth billions ensuring key matchups and strategies.
