This is great news for the Bills. The Bills need all the help they can get and being on primetime, in front of the nation with Michaels and Madden announcing, this will help the franchise.

The Philly game will be moved back and FOX will get it.

Two weeks later the Steelers come to Foxboro. I bet CBS uses one of it's five protections on Steelers-Pats, although if they don't, it's the clear favorite to get promoted to SNF.

Re: Pats/Bills game moved to Sunday Night
 
I'm not as worried about our travel plans (we're driving and already have our hotel for Sunday night), but we're going to have to plan for a cold night game...better pack some extra firewood....

It gives the Bills an extra 7 hours. Not a big deal.

As to why this game was picked on not the Steelers game--well, networkds do have a right of refusal and it may have been exercised on the NE/Pitt game.

I hear ya, I live in Tampa and this is the best news I've heard all day. Now I get to see another game that I probably would not have been able to otherwise.

Thank you NFL, you crooked bastards you.

Add me to the list of people who have no idea why the nations wants to see Pats-BILLS!

For that matter, if you total up all the Sunday night and Monday night appearances of the Eagles this year (and NYG and Cowboys) it's staggering. The Eagles are one of the least interesting teams going.

I would assume the following weeks game, 11/25 vs. Philly will be changed to a day game. I can't see 2 NBC games in a row.

I agree, thats weird that they would want Buffalo over Philly
