Despite an entertaining prime time game yesterday, the NFL has flexed the Browns out of an upcoming game.
The Cleveland Browns just put on a show on Thursday Night Football, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers by a score of 24-19 in a snowfest that had the country talking. However, with the Browns only having a 3-8 record, the league has opted to flex what would have been their next TNF game in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The first Thursday night flex: The Week 16 Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Chargers game will move to Thursday Night Football on Prime Video while the Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals matchup will be played Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on FOX.

Now, the Browns vs. Bengals game will be played as a regular Sunday game at 1:00 PM ET. The game replacing it features the Denver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Chargers.
The Browns still have one more prime time game locked in, when they face the Broncos in Week 13 on Monday Night Football. Cleveland’s other prime time game is on Sunday Night Football in Week 17, when they host the Miami Dolphins. That game could still be flexed out in the coming weeks, depending on whether the teams get back into the playoff hunt or not.
What do you think about the Browns being flexed out against the Bengals?
