NFL changes start time for Pats-Broncos Week 5 matchup

Ted Johnson, Matt Cassel and Phil Perry break down the Patriots 36-20 win against the Las Vegas Raiders.

If you enjoyed the 1 o'clock kickoff for the Patriots game Sunday against the Raiders, don't get used to it.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the NFL has rescheduled New England's Week 5 game against the Broncos on October 11, sliding the start time back from 1:00 p.m. to 4:25. 

This gives the Patriots three straight kickoffs in the late afternoon window: October 4 at Kansas City, October 11 vs. Denver and October 25 vs. San Francisco sandwiched around the team's Week 6 bye.

New England's next 1 p.m. kickoff is five weeks away in a Week 8 showdown at AFC East leader Buffalo on November 1, and the next early Sunday kickoff in Foxboro isn't for two months with a Week 12 game against the Cardinals on November 29.

The Broncos, who lost to Tom Brady and the Bucs 28-10 in Denver yesterday, face the Jets on Thursday Night Football this week before coming to New England.
