NFL TO CONTINUE "FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING":The NFL this season will continue to use a primetime "flexible scheduling" element on Sundays in Weeks 11-16 with an open game for Week 17. The 2013 NFL schedule lists start times for all Sunday games during the "flex" weeks as 1:00 PM ET, except for games played in the Mountain or Pacific Time zones, which will be listed at 4:05 PM ET or 4:15 PM ET.   Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved.  Flexible scheduling will *not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Saturday or Monday nights. The NFL will have additional flexibility to move the start times of games on Sundays, using a 12-day notice format. For example, a game scheduled for Sunday, November 24 could move from a 1:00 PM ET kickoff to an 8:30 PM start, but the change would be made and announced no later than Tuesday, November 12. In Week 17, in order to ensure a Sunday night game with playoff implications, the decision to move the start time may be made on six days notice.
