The NFL will be able to flex “Thursday Night Football” games between Weeks 13-17, the result of an ownership vote at Monday’s spring league meeting in Eagan, Minn.
The Bears won’t have to worry about it, though. They’re scheduled to appear on TNF twice this season, the maximum number of games teams are allowed. They’ll play at the Commanders in Week 5 and host the Panthers in Week 10.
The NFL must decide to flex a Thursday night game 28 days in advance.
