NFL’s Week 16 Los Angeles Chargers-Denver Broncos Game Flexed To Prime Video’s ‘Thursday Night Football’
The NFL said on Friday that its Week 16 game between AFC West rivals Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, both firmly in the hunt for a postseason berth, has been moved up in the schedule to be that week’s game on Prime Video.
The game, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, will now kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET/5:15 p.m. PT on December 19.
The move means the regularly scheduled TNF game that week, Cleveland at Cincinnati, will now be played Sunday, December 12 at 1 p.m. ET and air on Fox.
The Chargers (7-3) under new coach Jim Harbaugh have won four games in a row heading into a Monday Night Football showdown at home against the Baltimore Ravens (8:15 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN). Denver (6-5), plays the Las Vegas Raiders on the road Sunday.
The NFL has had a deal with the networks about tweaking its schedule to ensure strong matchups and give teams a chance to play their way onto primetime schedules. Originally implemented for NBC’s Sunday Night Football programming, the flex can also be implemented for Monday Night Football, as well as TNF on a trial basis beginning this season.
Amazon’s Prime Video has seen success with its TNF programming as fans become more accustomed to streaming services to find games. This is the third year of TNF on Prime Video; the schedule features 15 regular-season games including a Black Friday game pitting the Kansas City Chiefs and Raiders next week, in addition to a wild-card playoff game in January.
Another streamer, Netflix, is making inroads with the NFL as well this season hosting a pair of games live on Christmas Day.
