But the Bengals' NFL Week 16 game against the Cleveland Browns, currently scheduled for Amazon Prime's Thursday Night Football on December 19, was flexed Friday to Sunday, December 22, on Fox. The Thursday night game will be the Los Angeles Chargers against the Denver Broncos.

The Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals matchup in Week 16 has officially been flexed out of their Thursday Night Football primetime slot.

The NFL is permitting Thursday Night Football flex scheduling in 2024 on a trial basis; this is the league's first use of the practice. A decision is required to be made no later than 28 days prior to the game. Los Angeles defeated Denver 23–16 in the two teams' initial matchup on Oct. 13.
