— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) January 1, 2025The game had originally been pushed back exactly 24 hours to 8:45 p.m. ET on Thursday night. But then the 2 teams began discussions that centered on moving up the kickoff time earlier in the day Thursday for rest and recovery purposes, according to ESPN.
As it turns out, the teams got what they wanted, as the game won’t be a full 24 hours later and will instead be a late afternoon kickoff from the Caesars Superdome instead.
