(Somewhere in Cooch's archives)
NBC very heavily promoted the Week 11 "flex game": New England at Buffalo. Funny things about this:
1. We know the Bills' hot streak is based on an easy schedule.
2. Flexes aside, Week 12's default Sunday night game was to be Philadelphia at New England. I assume they won't do the Patriots twice in a row.
3. There's a paucity of good Sunday Week 12 games. The best by default seems to be Washington at Tampa Bay (or Buffalo at Jacksonville! - but I assume they won't do the Bills twice in a row either).
4. Week 12 Monday night is Miami at Pittsburgh. That's even an more heinous mismatch than NY Jets at Dallas on Thanksgiving proper! (And also more heinous than Indianapolis at Atlanta, later Thanksgiving night, only on pay TV.)
5. The Week 11 "4:05 game" is Pittsburgh at NY Jets. As far as I can tell that means the New York market won't get to see Washington at Dallas.
6. Week 12 "4:15 games": Baltimore at San Diego, or Denver at Chicago. Pick your poison!
