The Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals have played their way into primetime yet again. In the NFL's first schedule flex of the season, the Bengals and Cardinals will play a Sunday Night Football matchup on Nov. 22, with the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers moving back to 4:05 p.m. ET.

After a 7-0 start achieved outside the national spotlight, the Bengals will now get plenty of attention down the stretch. They play the Cleveland Browns this Thursday, the Houston Texans on Monday, Nov. 16, and then go to Sunday night against Arizona. They are also scheduled for primetime games in December against the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos.
That may not be good news for the Bengals, who are just 7-15 in primetime since Marvin Lewis took over as coach in 2003, and 3-7 with Andy Dalton at quarterback.
The Cardinals will continue to get attention after their 6-2 start. They've already beaten the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football, and will get back-to-back Sunday night games on Nov. 15 against the Seattle Seahawks and the following week against the Bengals. They also host the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, Dec. 10.
