The Jacksonville Jaguars are breaking a notable streak in the NFL by securing a flexed Week 11 game against the New York Giants. The league announced on Monday that the Pittsburgh Steelers-Philadelphia Eagles matchup, originally scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. ET national window on CBS, will now air in the regional window at 1 p.m. ET. Consequently, the Jaguars-Giants contest will move into the coveted late-afternoon time slot.
For the Jaguars, this marks the first time since Week 6 of the 2018 season that they will play in CBS's featured game during the 4:25 window. The Jaguars have had several primetime games over recent seasons, including three slated for this year. This flexed opportunity follows their previous featured game on November 22 at Dallas, which was the second-longest drought in a featured 4:25 game, only behind the Falcons who hadn't experienced such a game since the 2017 season.
