The Patriots and Broncos remain in their afternoon spot.
Tim TebowFOXBOROUGH – Despite rampant speculation that it would be, the New England Patriots’ Week 15 game against the Denver Broncos will not be moved to primetime.
The deadline for games to be flexed to an 8:20 p.m. start is typically Tuesday, but the NFL extended it to Wednesday, leading many to believe that the Patriots and Broncos were going to be moved to the spot held by the Baltimore Ravens and San Diego Chargers.
Instead, those teams will retain that spot and the Patriots and Broncos will kickoff in Denver at 4:15.
Asked during morning press conference if he had a preference for when the game will be played, New England coach Bill Belichick said he does not care.
"I don’t really care about the Broncos game right now," Belichick said. "I’m worried about the Washington game. I don’t really care about it. When they tell us to play, we’re going to show up and play the game. When it happens, it happens. Right now, I’m worried about Washington."
