PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers' Dec. 9 game at New England will start at 4:15 p.m. ET 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. ET 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. ET and it will move from CBS to NBC. Originally, Patriots-Bills was set for 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
