The NFL announced schedule changes for Week 11, moving the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game from 4:25 p.m. ET to 1 p.m. ET on November 22, and shifting the New York Giants vs. Jacksonville Jaguars game from 1 p.m. to 4:25 p.m. ET. Both games will air on CBS.
The decision reflects the competitive standings: the Giants (5-2-1) and Jaguars (6-2) lead their divisions, while the Steelers (6-2) also lead theirs, but the Eagles (2-7) have lost seven straight and sit last in the NFC East. The league likely expects the Steelers-Eagles intrastate rivalry to still draw viewers, especially with Aaron Rodgers aiming for Pittsburgh's first win in Philadelphia since 1965.
The later slot gives the Jaguars, coached by Liam Coen, a larger audience, and offers the Giants a chance for another signature win in John Harbaugh's successful first season. Harbaugh recently led New York to its first win in Philadelphia since 2013. The matchup has been dubbed a "Tom Coughlin Bowl" — Coughlin was the Jaguars' first head coach, reaching AFC title games in 1996 and 1999, and later won two Super Bowls with the Giants.
