EAGAN, Minn. — An NFL proposal that narrowly failed in March has now passed.
NFL TV watchers, rejoice. NFL game attendees: beware.
NFL team owners approved a proposal that will allow Thursday night games to be flexed to Sunday and vice versa.
The proposal will carry some of the same restrictions that games flexed in and out of the Sunday night slot have already held. Flexes are only permitted during the final five eligible weeks of the regular season — Weeks 13 to 17, as "Thursday Night Football" isn’t on the Week 18 schedule — and no more than two games per season can be flexed.
