Report: NFL to change kickoff time of Patriots-Raiders Week 15 matchup

The New England Patriots won't play four consecutive night games, after all.

The Patriots' Week 15 road game against the Las Vegas Raiders, originally scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 18, at 8:20 p.m. ET, instead will kick off at 4:05 p.m. ET, Scott Zolak reported Monday on 98.5 The Sports Hub's "Zolak & Bertrand."

That Patriots-Raiders matchup had plenty of juice entering the season, as it marked Josh McDaniels' first regular-season game against his former boss, Bill Belichick. Both teams have underwhelmed this season, however; New England sits eighth in the AFC at 6-6 while Las Vegas is 10th at 5-7.
