Seahawks/Broncos selected for Sunday night

The NFL has moved the December 3 game between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos to 8:15 p.m. (et) as part of the flexible scheduling system.

The Seahawks lead the NFC West by a game over San Francisco and Denver trails the San Diego Chargers by a game in the race for the AFC West crown.

The league's new scheduling plan tries to ensure that Sunday night nationally- televised games on NBC and the late-afternoon Sunday time slot for FOX and CBS will feature quality matchups. The league must give at least 12 days notice for the switch, with the exception of Week 17 when a six-day period is in effect.

In addition to the Seahawks/Broncos game, the league has also moved the Week 13 contests between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Pittsburgh Steelers to 4:15 p.m. (et) starts. Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins tilt will now start at 4:05 (et).
