NFL, NBC may "flex" their muscle to air Broncos-Patriots game
Only the power of Tebow can cause such commotion.
The NFL and NBC-TV have not announced whether they will "flex" the Dec. 18 Broncos-Patriots game to prime time. It is still possible there will be a "flex" announcement this morning.
CBS is not surrendering the game easily. The network is considered the "AFC network," yet it was not able to capitalize on telecasting a Tebow-led Broncos comeback Sunday against Minnesota. The Fox network was handed the ratings bonanza because of an NBC flex game that broadcast New Orleans vs. Detroit, two NFC teams.
Without the change, NBC will broadcast a game between Baltimore (9-3) and San Diego (5-7). Not bad, but not Brady and Tebow.
