How is the Dallas-Washington game on CBS?

How is DAL vs WAS on CBS that’s two NFC teams? Not complaining as I like listening to Romo but just thought it was weird when I was looking to set my DVR.

I think is something they’ve started this year... prob tired of getting killed in ratings lol.

Idk but they brought it up on the telecast saying it had been a bit over 20 years since they had covered a boys and skins game

Something along the lines of more cross conference games they were gonna be doing from now on? I agree on the poster above me this had to have been about losing some ratings

It is cross-flexing and has been around for a few years.

The NFL actually started cross flexing broadcast 3 years ago.

Select games can be flexed between CBS and FOX. In the past, a game with two NFC teams had to be on FOX and a game with two AFC teams had to be on CBS. Now, the league can theoretically move an all-NFC game to CBS or an all-AFC game to FOX in select cases. This will help balance out the television schedule, especially in a week where one network has all the most intriguing games.

According to NFL.com, the league can begin flex scheduling in Week 5. The league can flex two games total between Weeks 5 and 10, and after Week 11 the league can go back to flexing games every week.

It's a welcome change of pace for me. Most of the time we get Aikman and Joe Buck, the latter of which I find completely unbearable.

No idea but I don't mind Romo's commentary. In fact as long as Cris Collingsworth isn't there I'm good.

I saw something saying that CBS was going to black out the game for 2/3 of the US. May have been fake news. I see it’s on my guide.

More like 2/3 will get it.

LOL Bates would’ve been nailed for HTH today for the tackle on KO when we went up 17-0.
