The NFL moved the Indianapolis Colts into prime time in Week 9. Now, they're moving the team out of the Sunday night spotlight in Week 11.

The league announced on Monday that it was bumping the Colts' matchup against the New York Jets out of the "Sunday Night Football" window and into a 1 p.m. ET slot. The Cincinnati Bengals' showdown at the Los Angeles Chargers will move into prime time.

The decision marks the second time that the league has switched up its "Sunday Night Football" matchup this season, as the Colts' game at the Minnesota Vikings replaced the Philadelphia Eagles' tilt against the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend. But Indianapolis (4-5) benched Anthony Richardson and installed Joe Flacco as the starting quarterback in the lead-up to the meeting, and Flacco passed for just 179 yards in the Colts' 21-13 loss.

The 3-6 Jets, meanwhile, are trying to cling on to their slim playoff hopes after beating the Houston Texans last week to end a five-game skid.

Giving an exclusive window to the Bengals (4-5) vs. Chargers (5-3) will add more intrigue to the matchup between Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert, who were the Nos. 1 and 6 picks in the 2020 NFL draft, respectively.
