National Football League announced today that the kickoff for Tampa Bay's Week 6 contest against the Detroit Lions has been flexed to the 4:25 p.m. ET time slot on Oct. 15 and will be televised on FOX to supplement the national doubleheader window. It was originally scheduled for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will pay tribute to the organization's rich history by wearing their original 'Creamsicle' uniforms against the former NFC Central Division rival Lions. The game marks the first time Tampa Bay will wear the distinctive color scheme since 2012 and serves as the centerpiece of the organization's Creamsicle campaign focusing on celebrating the deep roots of the team's nearly 50-year history.

The Buccaneers are enjoying a BYE week after getting off to a 3-1 start. The team defeated New Orleans on the road last weekend to earn its first NFC South division win of the season. Tampa Bay is 2-0 on the road and has a point to prove coming out of the time off.
