The NFL has gained the ability to flex late-season Thursday Night Football games thanks in part to the New Orleans Saints and Washington Commanders.

The Saints and Commanders flipped their votes from "no" to "yes" and the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos moved from "abstain" to "yes," giving the league the 24 "yes" votes it needed to activate flexing.

It's unclear why New Orleans and Washington changed their positions from "no" to "yes."
