 Originally to air on CBS with a start time of 2 : 30 p.m. CST , CBS reassigned the game for primetime television at 7 : 00 p.m. CST as part of a trade announced October 23 . The deal with CBS involved swapping games to other networks and gave future scheduling considerations for the 2012 season to ESPN . This was the case as CBS used their allotted SEC primetime slot for the Alabama – Florida game earlier in the season .

 Most NFL games are played on Sundays , with a Monday night game typically held at least once a week and Thursday night games occurring on most weeks as well . NFL games are not normally played on Fridays or Saturdays until late in the regular season , as federal law prohibits professional football leagues from competing with college or high school football . Because high school and college teams typically play games on Friday and Saturday , respectively , the NFL cannot hold games on those days until the third Friday in December . NFL games are rarely scheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday , and those days have only been used twice since 1948 : in 2010 , when a Sunday game was rescheduled to Tuesday due to a blizzard , and in 2012 , when the Kickoff game was moved from Thursday to Wednesday to avoid conflict with the Democratic National Convention .
