The New York Giants' Week 11 home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars has been flexed into the national television window.
Originally set for 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, November 22, the contest at MetLife Stadium will now kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET and air on CBS.
Both teams still have Week 10 games to play before that matchup. The Giants host the Washington Commanders on Thursday night, while the Jaguars travel to face the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, November 15. As a result, the records each side brings into MetLife Stadium remain subject to change.
New York currently sits at 5-2-1 after a 19-11 road win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, a result that left them alone atop the NFC East. Jacksonville enters this week at 6-2.
The flexed start
gives the Giants a higher-profile slot as they continue their season under head coach John Harbaugh. A strong Thursday night performance would further strengthen their position heading into the later kickoff, while a setback would make the Jaguars game even more significant for their playoff outlook.
The national audience will see a matchup that features two clubs positioned near the top of their respective conferences, with the extra week of games still to be decided.
The schedule adjustment also moves the Steelers-Eagles game to the 1:00 p.m. ET window on the same network.
