Steelers' final primetime game of the season flexed to 1pm.

The NFL has flexed the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday night matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15 in favor of the Dallas Cowboys vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers game, which shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone who has watched the Bengals play this season. 

NBC Sports announced the decision to move the Steelers vs Bengals out of the primetime slot and into a 1:00pm kickoff on December 18th which will now be aired on CBS. This move is obviously more of an indictment on the Bengals who are currently 4-7-1 and won't be playing for anything meaningful in Week 15. 

The Steelers, on the other hand, moved to 7-5 (tied for first in the AFC North) with a win against the Giants yesterday, but the fact remains the Cowboys vs. Bucs matchup is much more fitting for NBC's Sunday Night slot.

Pittsburgh has no other primetime games remaining on their schedule.
