Giants against Bengals isn’t likely to set the world alight on a Sunday night. I’m wondering if it gets flexed out of prime time.
If I understand correctly the decision has to be announced no more than 12 days beforehand and only an afternoon game can be flexed.
Washington in Baltimore would have been an obvious one but that’s a 1pm game so don’t think it’s eligible.
Selfishly, it’s one advantage to having a bad season as prime time actually mean 1am starts for me. Battling through to 4:30am to watch another loss can get kind of grim…..
Bengals used to be media darlings. Quickly falling out of favor.

Not quick enough for this year, and if they start winning the media will run with the comeback narrative.
I believe there used to be rules where games could only be flexed later in the year.
But I would not mind at all if it got flexed out.
Flexible scheduling is in effect during the following windows (the "Flex Scheduling Windows"):
Sunday afternoon games may also be moved between 1:00 p.m. and 4:05 p.m. or 4:25 p.m. ET.

For Monday Night Football it may be used at the NFL's discretion in Weeks 12-17;
For Thursday Night Football it may be used up to twice between Weeks 13-17.
During the Flex Scheduling Windows, the games initially scheduled for Sunday Night Football (on NBC), Monday Night Football (ESPN or ABC), and Thursday Night Football (on Amazon Prime) are tentatively scheduled and subject to change;
Only Sunday afternoon games (or those listed as TBD) are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, Monday night, or Thursday night, in which case the initially scheduled Sunday, Monday, or Thursday night game would be moved to Sunday afternoon;
Sunday afternoon games may also be moved between 1:00 p.m. and 4:05 p.m. or 4:25 p.m. ET.
Unless I'm misreading the schedule, Eric does not have the Bengals games as being "flexible".

Yep. That Rams Super Bowl was their chance. I thought they were "meh" even then.
Jets, Eagles, Bengals. Eh. All the same thing.
