The Miami Dolphins’ Week 15 sport on the division-rival Buffalo Bills will likely be performed on Saturday, Dec. 17 in an 8:15 p.m. kickoff, the NFL introduced Monday.
It was one in all 5 matchups the NFL had left open to both take one in all three slots that Saturday or play the next Sunday. Ravens at Browns will likely be performed at 4:30 p.m. that Saturday with Colts at Vikings taking the early 1 p.m. sport. Giants at Commanders was flexed to “Sunday Night Football” whereas Falcons at Saints will likely be performed Sunday afternoon.
Opting for a Saturday AFC East showdown between the Dolphins and Bills creates a brutal turnaround for the Dolphins, touring once more to Buffalo with one fewer day to organize after returning to Miami early Monday morning from spending greater than per week on the West Coast for back-to-back video games in California.
The NFL additionally had an choice to flex the Dolphins into Sunday night time for a second consecutive week, with a Patriots-Raiders sport initially scheduled for prime time on Dec. 18, however the league as an alternative selected Giants-Commanders to exchange it. Last week, the NFL bumped up this Sunday’s Dolphins-Chargers sport to the night time slot over Chiefs at Broncos.
Before final week’s announcement for Miami’s sport at L.A., the Dolphins had by no means been flexed right into a Sunday night time sport for the reason that NFL started its flex scheduling in 2006.
The Dolphins-Bills Saturday night time sport will air on NFL Network.
