Pats vs Jets: cross flexed to FOX? [Update: still on CBS; typo on initial NFL press release]

[Patsrock]

According to this press release today Pats/Jets now on FOX.




No mention of it in the release but also I might have missed it before but was it released anytime previously?

Here is a screen shot attached I took of NFL schedule today.

Kind of surprised, I would think a game between the pats and rats that involved playoff implications for the rats would be prime time fodder.

Pats can't be flexxed to another prime time game. Already at max of 6 games

As long as it's not on at night I don't care.

week 16 is a Fox doubleheader week, so it should get our game in a few more markets

I'm in the Miami market so I want theDolphins to stay on CBS, or else I have to watch them.

didn't know that thanks

Has to be a typo. No way in hell is CBS giving up Pats/Jets, a game they protected. Plus it isn't even in the write up. I think they would make mention of it being cross-flexed as they mention the other games that were.

I'm with you, night games kill me the next day. I know most everyone loves the prime time games, but I'd rather have every pats game at 1pm.

NE has hit the 6-game cap on primetime games and so can't be given another reg season primetimer.

I think it is too, but you never know with the NFL. That's why I started the thread in case I missed something earlier

Lets hope the pats ask for the footballs to be checked. We saw what happened last year

Ya I was right. The typo was fixed

IIRC in 2007 Pats had 7 prime time games. The last one was supposed to be on the new (back then) nfl network which only some people had at the time. There was a lot of *****ing and moaning around the country because many people weren't able to see if pats finished with perfect season. That whole week the NFL was getting slammed daily for restricting the game to only the NFL Network.

The NFL then decided to show it on both NFL network and CBS (I think it was CBS), giving some BS explanation like 'we're flexible and we want everyone to be able to view our games'.
