The Philadelphia Eagles schedule got flexed by the NFL on Nov. 9.

The Eagles’ Week 10 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 22 has been moved from 4:25 p.m. to 1 p.m. The game will air on CBS.

The Eagles, who are dealing with a seven-game losing streak, have fallen to 2-7 and last place in the NFC East. Pittsburgh is 6-2 and leading the AFC North.

The game looks like a mismatch and not worthy of a marquee position for the television audience.

Why the NFL flexed the Eagles

The NFL schedule was released in May, long before quarterback Jalen Hurts was lost for the season with clots in both lungs; right tackle Lane Johnson retired; center Cam Jurgens was traded; and wide receiver DeVonta Smith and running back Saquon Barkley were injured.

Flex scheduling provides the NFL a chance to move certain matchups around, particularly in the last several weeks of the season. The Eagles-Steelers matchup isn't an attractive matchup anymore so the NFL moved the game.
