Kickoff for Steelers-Pats Week 14 game changed

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers' Dec. 9 game at New England will start at 4:15 p.m. EST rather than the previously scheduled 1 p.m. to accommodate a CBS telecast.

The time change is the second for the Steelers under the NFL flexible scheduling plan that is in effect the final seven weeks of the season. Their Nov. 18 game at the New York Jets was changed recently from a 1 p.m. EST start to a 4:05 p.m. kickoff.

On Monday, the league pushed back the start of New England's game at the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 18 to 8:15 p.m. EST and it will move from CBS to NBC. Originally, Patriots-Bills was set for 1 p.m. EST on CBS.
