NFL at long last sets kickoff time for Rams-Jets in Week 15

The NFL reported a month ago that the Rams-Jets matchup in Week 15 wouldn’t be important for the Saturday doubleheader that week.

What the league didn’t say, notwithstanding, was the point at which the game will really be played, leaving it as TBD on the schedule.

On Wednesday, we at long last discovered when Rams-Jets will commence. That game is set for 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday, Dec. 20 at SoFi Stadium.

The 49ers-Cowboys game has been flexed out of the Sunday night opening for Giants-Browns, too.

The late-afternoon window consistently seemed well and good for Rams versus Jets, considering the game is being played at SoFi Stadium in the Pacific Time Zone.

The winless Jets aren’t adequate to warrant a prime-time slot, and commencing at 10 a.m. PT wouldn’t have been logical.

The game will be broadcast on FOX and will be only one of three games in the late-afternoon window close by Eagles-Cardinals and Chiefs-Saints.
