“SNF” game flexed, tripleheader set for Saturday

The NFL has officially scheduled its Saturday tripleheader for Week 17 while also postponing its Sunday Night Football matchup to Christmas.

Saturday’s schedule on December 28th begins at 1:00 p.m. ET with the Los Angeles Chargers at the New England Patriots, followed by the Denver Broncos at 4:30 p.m. at the Cincinnati Bengals and the Arizona Cardinals’ game at the Los Angeles Rams at 8 p.m

All three games will be broadcast on NFL Network and available on NFL+, the league’s streaming service.

The NFL should select three games from five possible matchups. One of the options – the Atlanta Falcons at the Washington Commanders – will move to “Sunday Night Football” on December 29, replacing the Miami Dolphins at the Cleveland Browns. The other game – the Indianapolis Colts vs. the New York Giants – will be played Sunday at 1 p.m.

The overhaul could have a significant impact on the playoff picture.

The Broncos (9-5) are in good shape to end their eight-year playoff drought as they sit in sixth place in the AFC. But Thursday’s game against the Chargers (8-6) could prove crucial in determining the wild card pecking order, and Denver faces a resilient Bengals team (6-8) that has at least 34 points in four of its last games achieved six weeks.
