So now my question becomes...was this exemption caused because the Saints and Lions game was originally scheduled to be a 1:00 Eastern game which would have given Fox 3 games in that time slot? IIRC, Fox was showing the double header as CBS games were all 1 Eastern starts. My guess is that when that game got flexed to Sunday night and the Patriots/Colts game went back into the regular Sunday pool Fox than picked up the Bronco's and Vikings game to show nationally.
