The undefeated Bengals suddenly are a team in demand.

The NFL announced Monday that 7-0 Cincinnati's Nov. 22 game at Arizona (6-2) will be flexed into the "Sunday Night Football" slot, with an 8:30 p.m. ET kickoff on NBC.

The Chiefs (3-5) and Chargers (2-6) had been slated for the Sunday night game but will instead be moved up to a 4:05 p.m. ET start. The league also moved that day's Packers-Vikings game to 4:25 p.m. ET.

The league announced one more change in the upcoming schedule: The Nov. 15 Bears-Rams game will now be broadcast by CBS instead of Fox. Kickoff will remain at 1 p.m. ET.
