The league swapped the two Week 11 matchups, sending Jacksonville-New York into the 4:25 p.m. ET slot on CBS and pushing Pittsburgh-Philadelphia to an early regional window.
The NFL has reshuffled its Week 11 schedule, moving the Jaguars-Giants game into the late-afternoon national window and dropping Steelers-Eagles down to the early slot.
Jacksonville-New York was originally slated for the 1 p.m. ET regional window, while Pittsburgh-Philadelphia held the 4:25 p.m. ET national spot on CBS. The league flipped the two, giving the bigger audience to the matchup it now considers more compelling.
The reasoning tracks. The Jaguars are among the top Super Bowl contenders in the league this season, and the Giants have improved to 5-2-1. Preseason expectations pointed the other way, with Steelers-Eagles looking like the marquee matchup before the year started, but results on the field have flipped that script.
Flexing games between windows has become a regular part of the NFL's scheduling toolkit, letting the league chase the best possible matchup for its biggest audience slot even after the schedule is set. This swap is the latest example, with the Jaguars and Giants now getting the larger stage in Week 11.
