The Seahawks’ Week-14 game against the Ravens in Baltimore will no longer be played in prime-time as NFL announced that it has been flexed out of “Sunday Night Football.”

Instead of a 5:30 PST start on NBC, that Dec. 13 game will kick off at 10 a.m. on FOX.

This was expected. The league has the option of swapping out Sunday night games later in the season in favor of more intriguing matchups. With Baltimore floundering at 3-7 entering Monday night’s game, having lost quarterback Joe Flacco and several other stars to season-ending injuries, that matchup with Seattle had lost its prime-time appeal.

New England at Houston will instead play on “Sunday Night Football.”

The Seahawks have no other prime-time games remaining on their schedule.
