The networks, however, are allowed to "crossflex" games to even out broadcast schedules or appeal. Things that can affect that would be stuff like a heavy west coast schedule for one network when the other has a heavy east coast schedule, one network having a heavy load of "good" games vs the others. Each network can protect certain games from being flexed to the other. Obviously, CBS didn't feel the need to do so with this game
Thank you ma'am.
