Vikings-Cardinals heads to Sunday night in Week 13

Posted by Mike Florio on November 24, 2009 11:31 AM ET

After two weeks of flex scheduling involving no flexing at all, the NFL and NBC have decided to swap out the tentatively-scheduled Sunday night game in Week 13.

And that means the game between the Patriots and Dolphins will move out of the 8:30 p.m. ET slot, giving way to a visit by the Vikings to Arizona.

It's a rematch of a Week 15 matchup from 2008, during which the Vikings clobbered the Cardinals on their own field, 35-14. The win was fueled by four touchdown passes from Tarvaris Jackson, who threw only 16 times in the entire game. Bernard Berrian, who caught a 41-yard touchdown pass, started the scoring with an 82-yard punt return to paydirt.

So even though the Vikings have Brett Favre on the roster this year, it's hard to expect him to top one of the best performances of Jackson's career.

A non-NBC source with access to the top-secret list of protected games tells us that, for Week 13, CBS had placed Tennessee at Indianapolis on the off-limits list, and FOX had squatted on Cowboys at Giants.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.

      Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
