CINCINNATI (WKRC) – The NFL has called an audible and made a change to the Bengals schedule.

The kick-off for their game at the Miami Dolphins on Dec. 21 has been flexed from a primetime Sunday slot at 8:20 to a 1 p.m. start on Local 12.

This is likely due to a lack of playoff ramifications with the Bengals struggling at 4-9 this season and the Dolphins not contending at 6-7.

NBC moved the New England Patriots at Baltimore Ravens contest to the later start for the bigger national television audience.
