I heard that the request was made by the team to the league and the request was denied.

Fact of the matter is if they did move it to another night, it would violate established agreements with the major television networks. It all has to do with marketing and how networks sell thier advertising spots.

And moving the game to Sunday means that the NFL Network would then be competing with the other Sunday games on major networks in major markets, and by agreement, they are not allowed to do so.

Even if they wanted to do it, there would not be enough time to finalize it due to all the legal hoops that would need to be overcome.
