NFL could reward Jaguars’ strong start with Week 8 prime-time flex

Carlos Sanchez of Black and Teal argues that the Jacksonville Jaguars could be flexed into Sunday Night Football for their Week 8 game against the Indianapolis Colts. The NFL is reportedly considering replacing the scheduled matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders. Pro Football Focus analyst Mike Florio noted that the 4-1 Jaguars present a viable prime-time option if they continue their winning momentum against the Houston Texans.

Sanchez highlights that other potential flex candidates include Baltimore Ravens versus Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions against Minnesota Vikings. The writer contends that Jacksonville deserves the prime-time slot if they enter their bye week at 5-1, noting that head coach Liam Coen could use any flex snub as further motivation for the team.
