NFL flexes Broncos Week 16 matchup with Chargers

The Broncos will play in prime time in Week 16. The NFL has made a major scheduling change, flexing Denver’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers to Thursday Night Football, the NFL announced Friday.   
Fans can watch it on Amazon Prime Video at 6:15 p.m. on Dec. 19. The Broncos tweeted “Prime Time. Divisional Game. Doesn’t get better than that!”     
The Broncos last appeared on Thursday Night Football in Week 7, and the Broncos earned a 33-10 win over the Saints in New Orleans.
The NFL introduced new flexible scheduling rules in 2023. Under the new rules, as many as two Thursday Night Football games between weeks 13-17 may be flexed. CBS Sports reports this is the first time the league has used its flexible schedule for Thursday Night Football.
The dates and times of Denver’s Week 17 and Week 18 games have not been announced.
