The flex game has started already. It will see movement in Week 5.
The Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers game will be played at 1 p.m. ET on Oct. 11.
If this is true, brutal news for Chicago Marathon runners who thought they’d have plenty of time to get home for the game. https://t.co/CPvN86S8Ua

The move makes sense when you see what contest FOX Sports will have in its late window for the feature game.
That will be the San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks, a clash between team that are at the top of the NFC West and are major Super Bowl contenders.
The Niners enter Week 4 atop the NFC West at 3-0. They have looked like a juggernaut in the first weeks of the season.
Seattle is the defending Super Bowl champion and is 2-1, having been surprised by
the Washington Commanders in Week 3.
One can be sure that Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, Erin Andrew and Tom Rinaldi will be in Seattle for FOX.
