How did the Pats Fins game not get flexed?

Not that I'm complaining…just look at all the other games being played Sunday. Most involve a playoff team playing a team that doesn't have a shot at the playoffs. The Sunday night game is Cincy vs Pitt….Really?

Like I said, not mad but just curious.
 
The game was protected by CBS, hence, it couldn't be flexed.

Makes sense. I thought it was because everyone thinks we'll be rolled. Then again we could be flexed to America's Funniest Videos for our 4th quarter play.
 
Here's why it wasn't flexed: NBC has taken too many CBS (i.e. AFC games, or interconference games in which the AFC team is on the road) games for this season. That's why Baltimore/New England next week was flexed into an NFC matchup, btw.
 
Ohhh that makes sense. I know people down in Miami hate the night games so it all works out.
 
last 2 seasons NE has 'busted our clock' Game2... if it's warm Sunday I think they've done us a favor

He's right - and also, towards the end of the year, they like to keep primetime games that involve at least one team's playoff aspirations that are not tied to other games. IE cincy's fate falls in their own hands, whereas out fate we need Baltimore to lose.
 
Hopefully the Pats players spend too much time on south beach before the game.
 
Because Tannehill threw a costly pick 6 and a horrible redzone INT vs. the Bills and failed to generate enough offense to beat the 0-8 Bucs.
