The NFL is known to flex games in its schedule if the primetime games no longer fit the bill. This year, we have seen the Vikings get a flex into Sunday Night Football for their matchup against the Colts.
In Week 13, the team faces off against the emerging Arizona Cardinals in a game that has national attention but will not get the spotlight.
According to Zack Kelberman of Mile High Huddle, keeping the national spotlight of Sunday Night Football will be a matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills, which makes sense. The matchup that many expected to be flipped was Monday Night Football, in which the Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos will face off.
The Browns have just two wins this season but have a star player in Myles Garrett and the Broncos have breakout rookie quarterback Bo Nix. Evidently, that takes president over an 8-2 Vikings team going against a high-powered Cardinals offense with a chip on their shoulders.
