# NFL Shuffles Four November Games, Sunday Night Call Pending

The NFL reshuffled its November television lineup Monday, using flex scheduling for only the second time this season and touching two separate weeks in one announcement.

Four games are switching broadcast partners. In Week 9, the Las Vegas Raiders at San Francisco 49ers gets a new 4:25 p.m. ET start, up from 4:05, sliding into the national late-afternoon window beside Packers-Patriots and Cardinals-Seahawks. Lions at Dolphins stays at 1 p.m. ET but changes networks.

In Week 11, Buccaneers at Lions and Dolphins at Bills both remain 1 p.m. ET kickoffs while trading broadcast homes. The Buffalo move is the notable one, since the network giving up the game already aired a Bills matchup earlier this fall.

After the Raiders-49ers switch, Texans at Chargers is left alone in the other network’s late slot at 4:05 p.m. ET.

One more call is still pending. Tampa Bay visits Chicago in the Week 9 Sunday night game, and a ruling on whether to move it is due before Tuesday ends. Tampa Bay sits at 2-5 yet has taken two of its last three games following four straight losses to open the year, and the matchup is the only Sunday night date on the Bears’ schedule.
