The Ravens will have at least one more home game under the lights.

The Ravens-Patriots game in Week 16 has flexed from 1 p.m. to 8:20 p.m. on "Sunday Night Football," the NFL announced Monday.

The matchup at M&T Bank Stadium will replace the Bengals-Dolphins game, which has been moved to the 1 p.m. slate.

The Dec. 21 game will be critical in the AFC playoff race, as the Ravens (6-7) are battling for the AFC North crown and a playoff spot, and New England (11-2) is jockeying for the No. 1 seed in the AFC and is on a 10-game winning streak.

Though the loss to the Steelers stung, the Ravens still have many paths to the division crown. Many include beating the Patriots. The matchup between the two AFC heavyweights will mark the fifth time the Ravens have played in primetime this season.

After playing Cincinnati this week and hosting the Patriots for their final home game of the regular season, the Ravens will round out the schedule with road games in Green Bay (Week 17) and in Pittsburgh (Week 18).
