NFL moves Bears @ Giants on Nov. 12 to Sunday night (8:15, NBC) in the first move under the league's new flexible schedule.

Also, it being a Fox doubleheader weekend, Saints @ Steelers is moved to a 4:15 game to join Cowboys @ Cardinals as Game 2 options.

Redskins @ Eagles remains a 1:00 kickoff on Fox.

I'm so confused - when WAS the bears game ?

For all the flex-sked weeks, the original release had all the East/Central games listed as 1:00 starts, and all the Mountain/West games as 4:05/4:15.

So, the first schedule had CHI-NYG at 1:00.

They had to put SOMEthing as a time and most don't move anyhow.

Also, Fox and CBS each get to protect five games.
