NBC has made their first scheduling change, and we're liking it already. On November 12th, the Chicago Bears game against the New York Giants at the Meadowlands will be switched from an afternoon game to a prime-time 8:15 p.m. EST game. The schedule change will be made every week from Week 10-15, and then Week 17.

Due to the schedule change, FOX has moved the New Orleans Saints vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game from 1:00 p.m. to 4:15 p.m.

The scheduling changes allow the network showing the prime-time game (NBC) to be able to display an exciting match-up later in the season instead of a duller one, like something involving a team with only one victory. Most of the games should involved playoff implications.
