NFL has 10 games being protected from Sunday Night Football flex

The Bengals vs. Steelers matchup in Week 14 won't be flexed. Neither will the Colts vs. Cowboys in Week 16, Packers vs. Eagles in Week 11 and several other notable NFL games.

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter revealed that FOX and CBS have decided which games in Weeks 11-16 will be protected from being flexed into NBC Sunday Night Football

The Bengals vs. Steelers matchup in Week 14 won't be flexed. However, Cincinnati's Week 17 rematch with Pitt could be flexed, as could week 11 vs. the Saints, Week 12 vs. Jaguars (no chance this goes primetime), Week 13 vs. Tampa Bay (no chance) and Week 15 at Cleveland (slim chance).

Here's a look at the remainder of the Bengals schedule:
