If you had tickets to the Eagles game on the 27th, the game now has a 1 PM kickoff instead of the national 4:25 game time slot. For some reason the NFL seems to think the Commanders with Jayden Daniels vs the Bears with Caleb Williams will be a better, more interesting game.
Likely because they're both major market teams with winning records.

Picks 1 and 2 in this year's draft and both are looking competent or better.
Honestly, someone in scheduling screwed this up a long time ago because this game should have always been that slot even before we knew they were decent.

Just as long as the game doesn't start after Burrow's 8pm bedtime.

Yeah, that popped into my head right after I posted, but by then someone else had already mentioned it.

I guess I should have put a sarcasm alert on my last line
Fine by me. I'll take a 1:00 kickoff for every single game.
Mo just said on 1530 that by virtue of it being at 1:00 it will reach a larger portion of the country than if it would have remained 4:25. Seems like the opposite would be true but I guess we'll see when the map is posted here.

He may be right...the other CBS 1 PM games are Baltimore at Cleveland, NY Jets at New England, and Indy at Houston. It's a CBS doubleheader day so one of those games will get a wider distribution in the West Coast. Philly and Cincinnati both have a bigger national presence than the other teams. Those first 2 games won't go past their usual markets
