The Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers sit atop their respective divisions and will continue to for at least until they play each other in Week 6. That game, originally scheduled to be played at 1 p.m. Eastern has now been flexed to the later afternoon time slot of 4:25 p.m. Eastern.

Instead of being one of eight games being played in the early time slot, the Lions are now one of just four games in the later afternoon (three at 4:25pm plus the Patriots-Raiders game that starts a little earlier at 4:05pm).
