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.

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.

Flex scheduling for "Sunday Night Football" can be used twice between Weeks 5-10 and as needed in Weeks 11-17.

"Monday Night Football" games are eligible for flex scheduling from Weeks 12-17 without limitation.

"Thursday Night Football" games can be flexed up to twice between Weeks 13-17.

Sunday afternoon games that air on CBS or FOX may be moved between the 1 p.m. ET, 4:05 p.m. ET and 4:25 p.m. ET time slots.

The NFL must give at least 12 days' notice to flex any Week 5-13 Sunday night game or Monday night game from Weeks 12-17. Flexing a Sunday night game in Weeks 14-17 requires only six days' notice.

For "Thursday Night Football" Weeks 14-16, flex scheduling should be announced 21 days prior to the game.
