NFL shortens 'TNF' flex window despite backlash for Broncos game
The Denver Broncos were featured in the NFL's first-ever Thursday Night Football flex last season when their Week 16 game against the Los Angeles Chargers was moved from a Sunday afternoon to a Thursday evening window with a four-week heads up.
Despite a nearly one-month warning, the flex received backlash from fans and pundits. Amy Trask, a former Raiders CEO, called for the league to refund fans who could not attend the game following the flex. Some fans had nonrefundable flights and hotels and criticised the NFL for moving the game by three days.
