The NFL made a notable Week 11 adjustment on Monday, and the Giants are right in the middle of it.
Adam Schefter reported the change on X, saying: “Flex: A Week 11 schedule change with the Jaguars-Giants moving to 4:25 p.m. ET, and Steelers-Eagles to 1 p.m. ET.”
That swap gives New York a national-window spot after its 19-11 win over the Eagles on Sunday pushed the Giants to 5-2-1 and into the NFC East lead. Malik Nabers also drew attention after the game for his furious rant at FOX’s Greg Olsen.
The reaction online was immediate. “GIANTS GOT FLEXED.
WE ARE BACK,” one fan wrote. “Giants games getting flexed now,” another said.
“Giants fans seeing them get flexed,” a third added. One user joked, “They should move Ravens-Chargers to next season.
Can they?”
Both games are scheduled to air on CBS on Sunday, November 22. Without the flex, the network would have had to decide between Steelers-Eagles and Raiders-Broncos for the national window.
The matchup itself fits the slot. Jacksonville is 6-2 and leads the AFC South, while Pittsburgh is also 6-2 and sits atop the AFC North.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, has lost seven straight and is 2-7 heading into its bye week. Jalen Hurts is out for the season with blood clots, leaving Nick Sirianni to turn to Tanner McKee and Joe Milton at quarterback.
For the Giants, the move means a bigger stage against the AFC South leaders. For the Eagles, it means a return from the bye to a 1 p.m. kickoff.

Jeremiah Trotter Jr. Just Forced A Tough Eagles Linebacker Decision
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. made a strong case for a bigger role in the Eagles Week 9 loss to the Giants, turning in one of the more productive defensive performances on the field. He was active all over the place, showing the kind of downhill presence and instinct that can change how a coaching staff views a linebacker rotation, especially on a defense trying to find more consistency in the middle.
Jihaad Campbell still has the traits that make him an intriguing piece, but his recent issues in coverage have only sharpened the conversation about how Philadelphia should divide the work. The Eagles may be at the point where the best answer is not simply choosing one over the other, but finding a way to use Campbell more as a pass-rushing weapon while letting Trotter handle a larger share of the traditional linebacker duties.

Carson Wentz Just Gave Eagles Fans Another Brutal Reminder
Carson Wentzs latest start was another rough one, this time in a Monday night loss for the Minnesota Vikings against the Buffalo Bills. The former Eagles quarterback drew boos during the game as the offense sputtered, and the Vikings were never able to get much going in a 23-6 defeat.
Wentz finished 8 of 25 for 81 yards with two interceptions before being pulled in the fourth quarter, a line that underscored just how far the night had gone off the rails. His 8.9 passer rating landed as one of the lowest in Vikings history for a starter with at least 20 pass attempts, a painful reminder for Eagles fans who have seen this movie before. [Read more 🡒]
Eagles Rookie Receiver Feels The Weight Of Costly Mistakes
Makai Lemon left the Eagles loss to the Giants thinking about the plays he let slip away, and the rookie receiver did not hide how much the mistakes bothered him. Even with the dropped passes hanging over the game, Lemon still led Philadelphia in receiving yards, a reminder that his role has grown quickly and that his first three NFL games have shown real progress.
The frustration is part of the learning curve for a young receiver trying to earn trust in a tight offense, especially in a game where every clean catch matters. Lemons response afterward, along with the way teammates have responded to his work, suggests the Eagles still see plenty to build on even as one costly afternoon lingers in the background.
