Bengals at Cardinals flexed to Sunday Night

[Bert]

The Cardinals will play 4, FOUR, Quatro games on national TV this season not counting any playoff games. Wow, we have officially made it. It's not only a measure of respect but it also shows that the networks see the Cardinals as a draw! Pretty cool stuff man! If we can win these next two games we will be on fire nationally. Proud to be a Cardinals fan!

Ambivalent about this move... Excited to see us get recognition for another primetime game, but then we usually fall flat for these games... Am I imagining this? Can someone look up our record for PT games in the last 4-5 years?

The key is the PAST This isn't the same ol Cardinals.

I actually think THIS team plays better on NatV games. There are a lot of egos on this defense and they definitely bring it harder under the bright lights.

This is a statement game for us.

6:30pm I believe.

You are correct:

That goes for the national audience too. Monday, the Nov. 22 game was officially “flexed” to NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” with a 6:30 p.m. kickoff, instead of its original 2:05 p.m. start time

Now we just need to win both SNF football games.

The Cardinals in the showcase game two weeks in a row. Did you ever think you would see that?

The Cowboys and Eagles have to be REALLY bad for this to happen.

Ha. I just heard a guy on The Drive say this is the first time this has happened in the history of Sunday Night football - except for one time it happened for Philly with a bye week inbetween the two games.

No. It has happened 6 other times.

Arizona will become the seventh team to appear on Sunday Night Football in consecutive weeks since the program began in 2006, joining New England in 2007, Washington in 2007, the New York Giants in 2008, San Francisco in 2012, Denver in 2013 and Philadelphia in 2013.

I like it bc they are big games with more pressure. The more we get, the more practice we have in these scenarios, the less likely we are blinded by the lights of the big stage in future such scenarios (like playoffs). Think the Pats think twice about such games? I don't think so.

I can't remember ever seeing ANY team back to back Sunday nights. Are we the first team to ever do that since the flex was instituted?

no, they are the 7th.

This is....BIG!

It's proof positive that we're being noticed. I think there's a variety of reasons for this but I'll name just two. 1./ We're FUN to watch! 2./ B.A.'s personality. He's so non-NFL establishment. Old school and yet extremely, funny...and a heckuv' good coach.

Personally I hate going to late night games. Makes for a long day.

Cris Collinsworth two weeks in a row

I agree, i'd be happy with Sunday 2:25 starts every week

I can see that for some people who are early risers or work early on Monday. For me it is great because Sunday is usually my only morning to catch up on rest.
