If you’re struggling to get yourself hyped up for this week’s “Sunday Night Football” clash between the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills, you certainly aren’t alone.
Sunday’s matchup between the two New York teams should be a lopsided victory for a 3-2 Bills team with Super Bowl aspirations. The 1-4 Giants, coming off a 31-16 loss to the Miami Dolphins, enter this game with the league’s worst point differential at minus-91.
Many NFL fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and called for the league to flex this week’s “Sunday Night Football” contest:

It’s simply too late for the NFL to flex the games now. As outlined by NFL.com, the flexing of a Sunday or Monday night game has to be announced “no later than 12 days in advance of the game.”
Of course, the NFL should have known 12 days ago that this matchup would not be all that enticing to the average fan. The Giants were blown out 24-3 at home by the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, and that simply should have been enough for the league to flex the game.
This Super Bowl 25 looked enticing on paper at the start of the year, as both the Giants and Bills were playoff teams and Divisional Round qualifiers in 2022.
But the G-Men have been one of football’s most disappointing teams of 2023 thus far, and the nation will once again get to see just how far they’ve fallen this Sunday.
