The Broncos aren’t the only ones hoping Peyton Manning’s ankle is OK.

The NFL announced this morning that there would be no flexing in the Week 12 schedule, with the Patriots-Broncos matchup staying on Sunday Night Football.

That’s hardly a surprise, as a Tom Brady-Manning matchup is always going to be good theater, and the game will have the requisite playoff implications.

It marks two SNF appearances in a row for the Broncos, after this week’s game with the Chiefs was flexed into prime time.
