It was announced on Friday the Cincinnati Bengals’ Week 16 game against the Cleveland Browns will no longer be played on Thursday Night Football, but will instead be played on Sunday, December 2 at 1 PM, and will be aired on FOX. Moving into the open primetime slot will be an AFC West matchup between the Denver Broncos and the Chargers in LA.
The move shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. The Bengals are 4-7 as they head into their Week-12 bye, and the Browns are 3-8. On the other hand, the Broncos are 6-5 and the Chargers are 7-3, and their matchup has playoff implications.
