The Patriots, Chiefs game slated for Monday night December 18th at Gillette has been flexed to Sunday December 17th at 1 pm. It is the first time the NFL has ever flexed out a Monday Night Football game. The decision to flex the game is a no brainer considering the fact that the Patriots are 2-9 and not competitive.
