ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- The Patriots' run at a perfect record is going prime time.
The league pushed back the start of New England's game at the Buffalo Bills (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/teams/bills) on Nov. 18 to 8:15 p.m. EST and it will move from CBS to NBC. Originally, Patriots-Bills was set for 1 p.m. EST on CBS and Chicago at Seattle was the night game.
Chicago will now play at Seattle at 4:15 p.m. EST on Fox.
The switch comes in the first week of the NFL's flexible television schedule period this season, a new wrinkle in the league's broadcast policy that came into effect last year. The flex schedule was negotiated into the new TV contract to ensure contending teams play in prime time late in the season.
