The New York Jets were slated to have one more prime-time matchup remaining on their 2024 NFL season schedule.
For now, that has changed.
The NFL has started flexing games in and out of prime-time football slots in the latter stages of this year’s schedule. New York’s Week 11 matchup has been moved.
The Jets (3-6) were set to host Indianapolis Colts (4-5) on “Sunday Night Football” at MetLife Stadium. Now they will not.
The league has announced that the Nov. 17 game will now be a 1 p.m. kickoff:

Instead of Jets-Colts, the Cincinnati Bengals (4-5) and Los Angeles Chargers 5-3) do battle in that prime-time football slot.
The reason for the flex likely has to do with the Jets being much further out of the playoff picture than most expected, combined with the Colts recently benching their young starting quarterback in Anthony Richardson.
Jets Wire will continue to provide schedule updates throughout the rest of the 2024 season.
