Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week 17 vs. Carolina Flexed to 4:25 PM

The NFL announced a schedule change for Week 17's Buccaneers vs. Panthers matchup.

Dec 28, 2015 at 12:34 AM

Tampa Bay's Week 17 game at Carolina has been flexed to 4:25 p.m. ET by the NFL and will be broadcast on FOX.

The NFL uses "flexible scheduling" on Sundays in Weeks 11-17. Flexible scheduling ensures quality matchups in all NFL Sunday time slots in those weeks and gives teams a chance to play their way onto primetime and into the late-afternoon 4:25 p.m. ET time slot on CBS or FOX.

Tampa Bay's Week 17 game at Carolina has been flexed to 4:25 p.m. ET by the NFL. Broadcast Network TBD.
