Why the Schedule Change?
The NFL has not officially stated the reason for the schedule adjustment. However, it's likely due to a combination of factors:
- National TV Coverage: The earlier kickoff may be to accommodate national television broadcasts, allowing for a wider audience to tune in.
- Weather Considerations: The shift could be a precaution against potential inclement weather in Indianapolis, Indiana, during the late afternoon hours.
- Competitive Balance: The NFL might adjust schedules to create more balanced matchups for viewers across different time slots.
What Does This Mean for Fans?
