Browns @ Steelers flexed to 1 p.m.

I think I heard it was a 4 pm game. Took it out of prime time since they expect fallout from first game most likely.

Or the NFL realized that there is no way they can push Cleveland as a good story anymore so they are pulling the plug on the Browns season...

Hiding it outside of Pittsburgh and Cleveland areas? :noidea:

Sucks because it was set up to be shown in my area according to the Xfinity app., now it's not

They took it out of the late afternoon slot because both teams stink. The Browns are out of the playoff picture and the Steelers struggle to score 10 points a game on offense. Plus, rarely do you see all of that extracurricular BS in Pittsburgh. That only seems to happen when the Browns and Bengals are too hyped up in their own stadiums.

Also, love that it's 1:00 pm. We don't get enough early afternoon home games.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see some stuff go down. I hope not, but don't be surprised.

And you know this for sure or it’s your opinion?

I would be surprised. We heard this every time after a Bengals game in Cincinnati and the games in Pittsburgh go off relatively tame.

The NFL flex scheduling is designed to get the best games in the best time slots.

The Steelers and Browns are all but out of the playoff picture so they moved the game to 1:00 pm. The Raiders at Chiefs moved to the 4:25 time slot as they are in a tightly contested battle for the AFC West. If all goes as planned, the Chiefs should beat the Chargers tonight and the Raiders should beat the Jets next week (Chiefs are on a bye week), putting both teams at 7-4 for a big time Week 13 showdown. If the Steelers and Browns were both 7-4 after that melee last week, no chance it moves out of its time slot.

Also makes sense as well. This is what the talking heads were talking about. It really doesn’t matter but I would have thought even without playoff implications the interest would have been high even if for the wrong reasons. Lots of fans like to see violence. Browns have a soft six games left and could sneak in to pick up the last spot.

I wonder how many Browns fans will travel for the game. I wouldn’t want to go into enemy territory with drunk, angry fans.

You're not a fan of the Steelers or Browns. Do you watch...

A disappointing Baker Mayfield, OBJ, etc. floundering against a Steelers team with a practice squad offense

or

MVP Candidate Patrick Mahomes with an explosive Chiefs offense against a surprising Jon Gruden Raiders for the AFC West lead.

There's next to zero national interest in the Steelers-Browns game at this point of the season.
 
Already looking ahead?

Guarantees a loss against the Bengals

Agree about the TV coverage but also wonder if it was done from a public safety standpoint. Less time for tailgating and the stadium will likely be emptied out and people headed home before it gets dark.
 
The Browns kicked the ever loving **** out of the whole team! Beat them physically into a pulp.

Be prepared to be embarrassed again, I dont see anything changing.

Except the stadium might be half empty by halftime if they blow them out early
