In a landmark decision, the NFL has flexed the Week 16 matchup between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers to Thursday Night Football, marking the first time such a flex has occurred for a Thursday game. This move has resulted in the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals being bumped from their Thursday night slot, moving their game to Sunday, December 22. While some fans have expressed dissatisfaction with the change, the Broncos are embracing their new prime-time opportunity. The network and teams prepare for this significant scheduling adjustment, which aims to enhance the viewing experience for fans.
