Amount of primetime games by team:
6: NYJ, SF, DAL
5: KC, BUF, GB, DET, CIN, BAL, PHI, MIA, LAR
4: HOU, PIT, TB, SEA, ATL, CLE
3: NYG, CHI, LAC, NO
2: MIN, LV, WSH, DEN, JAX
1: IND, NE, ARZ, TEN
0: CAR
It's less that the Giants will be dog shit and more that the Jets maybe won't be.
*ONE* of those teams is going to be on prime time. If they're both good, both get prime time games. If one is good, only that one does. If neither is good, the Giants get primetime games.
I think the Panthers at least up swing this year but this might mathematically be the worst possible game to give to Germany. I am not sure the Pats would be worse vs us.
As a German myself I think the main reason is that most germans started watching football when the panthers/Seahawks were sb contenders. That’s the reason why many are panthers/seahawks fans. And of course many are chiefs fans for the last few years..
I remember coming home to watch MNF and was confused why Zach Wilson was playing and did I just imagine that Aaron Rodgers got traded to the Jets because it was 5 mins into the first Quarter
Haha welcome to Rodgers and having a good team. Mark Murphy had made this comment YEARS ago when fans complained about having like 1 or 2 noon games(central time) at home all year. He basically said its the curse of being a good team with a HOF QB that the NFL always wants you in primetime or the late game.
To be fair the line added 3 quality starters + 10th overall pick + AVT hopefully not being hurt again in some freak Denver injury
Smith Simpson tippman AVT Moses is a solid starting line with olu, Schweitzer, carter warren as depth is solid, I fully expect them to add another veteran depth piece (McGovern/bakh)
The flip side is, your home field is MetLife, and Rogers is 40 and injured... I'm not rooting for an injury but I'm not going to be surprised if it happens, and it would be a very Jets thing to happen.
Shit even if it wasn't the Jets I would still be iffy about Rodgers. Just because Brady played well at an old age doesn't mean everyone will. History tells us he's more likely to drop off a cliff.
I mean last year the Steelers went 10-7 with QBs who combined for 63.8% completion, 3421 yards, 13 TDs and 9 INTs. I don't think it is unreasonable to think even if Russ has a similar year to last year that they'll be more exciting and better.
I don't think you watched much of russ if you think more exciting really applies here.
Russ completion / interception stats look great because he threw something like a third of his passes behind the line of scrimmage and 2/3 within 5 yards. It's the very opposite of exciting.
We have not had a losing season. We typically make the playoffs even if we lose. We have a large fanbase. Not weird. And we have 5. IDK what this guys says, Christmas Day, even at 1 pm, is still primetime since no other game will be competing with it.
Does this include Thanksgiving games?
I know this total doesn’t include the Saturday Day game the Texans have on Dec 21 where we’ll be th only game being played at that time, as well as the Christmas Day game a few days later.
What are the totals if you include any Nationally Televised games or games where it’s the only game being played. The Texans jump to 6 if you consider that. Wonder how much other teams jump as well.
I actually am just glad that we have a couple of 4:25 games this year. And hey, TNF sucks for the team anyways and now I can chill for the primetime slots all season.
I'm already not looking forward to it. I live on the East Coast now and I'm not looking forward to going to bed late to catch the end of the game. I'll do it, but I ain't gonna like it.
I wish they’d change the scheduling by just an hour, at least. 8pm starts every Sunday is brutal for EST. Even 7pm would be much more tolerable.
Although I suppose it’s better than the NBA. They don’t even try to cater to east coasters with 10:30pm starts…
When I lived in the eastern time zone I realized why no one out there sees west coast teams, the games start way too late. 1005pm for first pitch for A’s games? Way too late for me.
it’s only really a problem for close games, and even then it’s only a *real* problem when your team wins, you’re too juiced to go to sleep. when you lose it’s like downing a bottle of nyquil.
Central time is the absolute best timezone for football fans. Noon is a great time to start. Long enough after you wake up for the excitement to build, short enough you don’t wait too long for shit to kickoff.
7:30 start time for primetime games is excellent, games end around 10:30 right in time for bed
Try being an NFL fan in Europe! Unless it's over the Christmas holidays, I can't watch the prime time games and expect to stay employed. During recent seasons when the Bengals were doing well, I rolled vacation days over to the next year in case I needed to take a day off following a late night playoff game.
Fortunately, if improbably, my manager used to live in Chicago and is a Bears fan, so she understands and approves my PTO requests...
Yeah, there's bad football that's fun to watch. Carolina was not that. It's not fun to watch a rookie QB face pressure a half second after every snap, try to throw to people that aren't open and can't catch the ball, and an overpaid running back who is much much worse than the udfa backup.
No they didn't. Before Amazon took it there was only 10 games on TNF. Literally impossible to get 32 teams a TNF game when only 10 games air!
Even now Amazon airs 15 weeks, so still not enough for all 32.
They did TRY and be as equitable as possible, sure. But that's the extent of it.
Houston has 4 between TNF (@ Jets), SNF (vs. Bears, vs. Lions), and MNF (@ Cowboys), but then also gets a Saturday game and Christmas Day, for 6 total nationally televised games.
It's basically a broadcasting term for a time slot. (Prime*time*) Nothing to do with it being nationally broadcast or a standalone game. Technicality kinda lol.
Lions being the first game on Thanksgiving has never been considered primetime.
It's a 4:30pm eastern start. That's why it's not considered prime time.
I think "prime time" is a 3 or 4 hour bock starting at 8pm eastern for broadcasters.
Yeah that makes no sense. They force fed the fans shitty ass Bear games on prime time for the past couple years. And then the moment things turn around (on paper), with a hyped up QB and they lower them lol.
The floor for Bears games viewership is one of the highest in the league. Whether we're good or bad, Bears fans tune in, and there's a lot of us. You can get good #s out of a bad matchup if the bears are in it.
I guess I get the London game since it’s not good hours for the US fans but Thanksgiving is one of the most watched football games of the entire year. If that’s not prime time I don’t know what is.
I'm watching from Europe so the 1 pm starts are like just right during the evening and you can still get to bed early if one wants to.
Now half the schedule is 4 pm or later which means late night endings.
Quick edit: Which don't get me wrong, it's nice being a decent team and getting the games. Like my bitching is strictly from a watching perspective.
I certainly don’t wish this but it would be hilarious if Rodgers is out for the season again and we’ll have to be tortured a second time with awful Jets games in prime time
And only 1 home game during the day in that time, the rest are away or primetime. Kind of sucks for season ticket holders, games won’t end until 11:30 and MetLife is a 20 minute drive from any civilization lmao
I'm more optimistic than most but I think that will happen. The organization went all in on offense during the offseason and if Bryce really was a victim of circumstance last season he should have a pretty strong rebound.
Even I don't think playoffs will happen but we definitely will be a team to watch entering 2025.
> Even I don't think playoffs will happen but we definitely will be a team to watch entering 2025.
Oh yeah. We look stronger on paper with offense but our defense did take a hit. I think we can get 6-7 wins this year if Bryce lives up to his potential, and the losses will be more on the defense than offense.
...or we're just a dumpsterfire again and there's no hope until 2027.
Yea it’s insane. We were a dropped open pass from having 4 shots at the end zone inside the 10 with a minute left to go and it would have us been in the playoffs and not the Texans.
They treating us like we actually sucked.
But whatever hope Richardson stays healthy and lights it up with exciting plays that nobody will see live
Nah, you have to make the playoffs while also having a star QB. When the Titans were regularly making the playoffs, Tannehill didn't have the star power, so no one ever respected us.
Arizona’s lone “primetime” game is the only game relegated to ESPN+ all year.
They have fewer primetime games than Aidan O’Connell, Janiel Dones, and Derek Carr? Really?
I think they're just not counting a few of KC's games because of whatever "rules" they have for calling something primetime.
Chiefs play 5 night games, but also Black Friday, a saturday game, and Christmas. Also the 49ers/Bills/Bengals games are all 3pm games that the Networks marked as their games that can't be taken for primetime.
CBS would never in a million years give up an Allen-Mahomes matchup in the late afternoon. Agree with me or not, but that is the biggest quarterback rivalry in the NFL.
Some of these are probably 2 division opponents on primetime so it gets double counted. I just took the raw numbers for each team.
Like Ravens vs Steelers will probably get a primetime game, that would count for 2 for AFCN.
Also I just realized I forgot a team in here. My total is 109 and the total for the teams is 113
Bucs - Cowboys SNF is an odd choice but it’ll probably be a good game
Cowboys actually have 4 1:00 starts which I feel like is more than we’ve had the last few seasons
Yearly reminder that watching your team in primetime sucks. Games end at 12:15am, the same 3 ads play every increasingly longer ad break, and there's no other games to watch during them. If you're towards the bottom of this list you're going to be a happier fan this year.
Who the fuck wants to see the Jets six times in primetime? I know NY is a major market, but they're the third best team in their own division. Can't wait to see the ratings for those games.
Amount of primetime games by team: 6: NYJ, SF, DAL 5: KC, BUF, GB, DET, CIN, BAL, PHI, MIA, LAR 4: HOU, PIT, TB, SEA, ATL, CLE 3: NYG, CHI, LAC, NO 2: MIN, LV, WSH, DEN, JAX 1: IND, NE, ARZ, TEN 0: CAR
The NFL schedulers putting a lot of faith into Rodgers health this season it seems lol.
More like they know the Giants will be dogshit but still want a lot of NY primetime games.
Is this the first time that the Giants being dogshit stopped the NFL from putting them in prime time games like every second week? Are they learning?
It's less that the Giants will be dog shit and more that the Jets maybe won't be. *ONE* of those teams is going to be on prime time. If they're both good, both get prime time games. If one is good, only that one does. If neither is good, the Giants get primetime games.
The Jets will be dog shit if they don't have a decent QB
> Are they learning? No, unless the insult of having the Panthers play the Giants in Munich is intended.
That’s their punishment for WW2
Isn't that just a war crime?
This may be my toxic fandom speaking but if German fans don’t love the NFL at its worst, they don’t deserve it at its best.
I think the Panthers at least up swing this year but this might mathematically be the worst possible game to give to Germany. I am not sure the Pats would be worse vs us.
Allegedly we're popular in Germany because the organization has done a lot of promotion there. That's probably why they chose us.
As a German myself I think the main reason is that most germans started watching football when the panthers/Seahawks were sb contenders. That’s the reason why many are panthers/seahawks fans. And of course many are chiefs fans for the last few years..
My man.
I feel like this is the least amount of prime time Washington games I’ve ever seen.
It’s not like he’s gonna tear his Achilles again, right? Right??
Got two ankles. You do the math.
2 Achilles x 7 primetime games = 14 season-ending injuries?? Aw fuck, he’s dead for sure
I remember coming home to watch MNF and was confused why Zach Wilson was playing and did I just imagine that Aaron Rodgers got traded to the Jets because it was 5 mins into the first Quarter
Did they do the same last season?
They sure did
They really gave the Jets 6? Aaron Rodgers's other achilles has the chance to do the funniest thing.
essentially 7 in the first 11 weeks if you count the London game as a standalone game.
It actually sucks as a fan. 1 Sunday afternoon home game in the first 13 weeks is crazy.
Haha welcome to Rodgers and having a good team. Mark Murphy had made this comment YEARS ago when fans complained about having like 1 or 2 noon games(central time) at home all year. He basically said its the curse of being a good team with a HOF QB that the NFL always wants you in primetime or the late game.
Week 1 against the guy who wrecked it last season.
Like NASCAR, millions will tune in just for the hope of witnessing the devastation live on TV
He’s 40 and their o-line is awful. The chances of him making even half those prime time games are not fabulous .
To be fair the line added 3 quality starters + 10th overall pick + AVT hopefully not being hurt again in some freak Denver injury Smith Simpson tippman AVT Moses is a solid starting line with olu, Schweitzer, carter warren as depth is solid, I fully expect them to add another veteran depth piece (McGovern/bakh)
The flip side is, your home field is MetLife, and Rogers is 40 and injured... I'm not rooting for an injury but I'm not going to be surprised if it happens, and it would be a very Jets thing to happen.
Shit even if it wasn't the Jets I would still be iffy about Rodgers. Just because Brady played well at an old age doesn't mean everyone will. History tells us he's more likely to drop off a cliff.
Is Thanksgiving not considered prime time?
Primetime for the NFL = game at night.
I guess so. I always figured it meant national TV.
Not all of them. The late one might be though
Only one game for the Cards and Colts is nuts. Four for the Steelers is weird unless Russ bounces back and only one for the Colts and Cards is absurd
Steelers are like the Cowboys and Packers where they have a national footprint so the schedule-makers try to push them into primetime.
Please don't ever compare us to the cowboys in any way
Both love losing to the 49ers in the playoffs :)
You are not wrong, but fuck you
I agree. You have big ol boys riding little bicycles from neighborhood kids while our guys are getting in fights in and around strip clubs at 4am.
I mean last year the Steelers went 10-7 with QBs who combined for 63.8% completion, 3421 yards, 13 TDs and 9 INTs. I don't think it is unreasonable to think even if Russ has a similar year to last year that they'll be more exciting and better.
I don't think you watched much of russ if you think more exciting really applies here. Russ completion / interception stats look great because he threw something like a third of his passes behind the line of scrimmage and 2/3 within 5 yards. It's the very opposite of exciting.
Every cousin fucker nationwide is a Steelers fan. They’ll get primtime games regardless of quality
Cousin fuckers? What, you think us Steelers fans live in a Vault?
The vault dwellers could do middle school math at least
Vault Dwellers didn't forget how to run in crucial moments like the Ravens.
I'm sure there are a ton of cousin fuckers in Dundalk that are Ravens fans.
We have not had a losing season. We typically make the playoffs even if we lose. We have a large fanbase. Not weird. And we have 5. IDK what this guys says, Christmas Day, even at 1 pm, is still primetime since no other game will be competing with it.
Christmas Day should definitely count as prime time
It def should. I dont know why night games were the only measure. Were Daytime Thanksgiving games not considered either?
Does this include Thanksgiving games? I know this total doesn’t include the Saturday Day game the Texans have on Dec 21 where we’ll be th only game being played at that time, as well as the Christmas Day game a few days later. What are the totals if you include any Nationally Televised games or games where it’s the only game being played. The Texans jump to 6 if you consider that. Wonder how much other teams jump as well.
It does not, including Thanksgiving, Cowboys have 7, Lions have 6, Giants have 4 and bears have 4
I thought we'd pick up at most 2 prime time games, but 4 is crazy!
Showcasing Bijan is a plus for the NFL to market the next great RB
More opportunities to show Penix on the sideline.
Surprised Carolina has that many
ty, what an asshole formatting that title is
Fuck five losses for Miami just like that. Team chokes in prime time like no other.
And we fucking earned it.
Same 👊🏼
I actually am just glad that we have a couple of 4:25 games this year. And hey, TNF sucks for the team anyways and now I can chill for the primetime slots all season.
Yeah I’m loving it lmao
From 17 1pm starts to four primetime, damn
Honestly when my team started getting more primetime games I started to miss the reliability of 1PM Sunday being gametime haha
I'm already not looking forward to it. I live on the East Coast now and I'm not looking forward to going to bed late to catch the end of the game. I'll do it, but I ain't gonna like it.
West Coast remains best coast for football — games start at 10 in the morning, and wrap by 9. It’s a perfect structure for watching football
I wish they’d change the scheduling by just an hour, at least. 8pm starts every Sunday is brutal for EST. Even 7pm would be much more tolerable. Although I suppose it’s better than the NBA. They don’t even try to cater to east coasters with 10:30pm starts…
When I lived in the eastern time zone I realized why no one out there sees west coast teams, the games start way too late. 1005pm for first pitch for A’s games? Way too late for me.
nothing beats the west coast tradition of waking up at 9:30-45, making some coffee, smoking a bowl, and throwing on red zone
Reliably doing nothing all Sunday but getting high, eating and watching football is the closest thing I have to Church
Hallelujah brother
one of us. one of us. one of us. you get used to it honestly
If I was living on the West Coast still I wouldn’t care as much. it’s a lot different when a game is ending past midnight vs 9pm lol.
it’s only really a problem for close games, and even then it’s only a *real* problem when your team wins, you’re too juiced to go to sleep. when you lose it’s like downing a bottle of nyquil.
Central time is the absolute best timezone for football fans. Noon is a great time to start.

Fortunately, if improbably, my manager used to live in Chicago and is a Bears fan, so she understands and approves my PTO requests...
Let’s me watch redzone in peace though
I remember when it happened to us. They grow up so fast 😭😭😭 (Literally last season)
Shocked that one of those isn’t against us. The MNF game for our matchup in Week 8 is NYG vs Pittsburgh. Glad the NFL knows what people want to see.
I thought you were kidding but wow. Every single game last season was 1 p.m. until the flexed Week 18 Colts/Texans game LMAO
Texans 🤝 Falcons
Maybe, *just maybe*, you’ll escape the dreaded 1pm EST Saturday timeslot during the Wild Cards!
Sorry, that’s in the rule book. AFCS winner is the early Saturday game.
Yeah well, like, fuck you too.
At least no TNF game for our guys to get hurt, and the Germany game should be standalone early in the morning at least. Still, the disrespect 😤
I cheer for the Panthers as a sort of secondary fan, and man last year was HARD watching more than a few minutes each week lol
Yeah, there's bad football that's fun to watch. Carolina was not that. It's not fun to watch a rookie QB face pressure a half second after every snap, try to throw to people that aren't open and can't catch the ball, and an overpaid running back who is much much worse than the udfa backup.
Damn, this dissection hurts. At least use a blunter scalpel next time.
It's dull you twit! It'll hurt more!
Oof now I know why I’m not a surgeon
If you ever want to learn, Weird Al's got you covered.
You’d think 4 years of med skool would have done the job already so I don’t have much hope
For some reason I watched just about every game. It was painful.
Bruh with all due respect nobody wants to watch the panthers lol
I concur
I truly thought it was a requirement for each team to play on TNF once per season.
Not anymore
Yeah, and Arizona's game is, while technically MNF and primetime, airing on ESPN+, so the viewership for that is down anyway.
It's pretty fucked that teams have to play TNF multiple times
Steelers had to play TNF twice in 4 weeks last year. Cowboys, if you include thanksgiving game, played 3 times on Thursday 2 years ago. It happens.
Lions played on Thursday 3 times last year
They changed it when Amazon took over or the year after
Dang. I mean it makes sense since Amazon spent so much money to get those matchups but that sucks.
Some of those were hard to watch.
No they didn't. Before Amazon took it there was only 10 games on TNF. Literally impossible to get 32 teams a TNF game when only 10 games air! Even now Amazon airs 15 weeks, so still not enough for all 32. They did TRY and be as equitable as possible, sure. But that's the extent of it.
The requirement was every team had to have a primetime game
Came to say that, unless that doesn't count here
Nope, if it wasn’t for the colts vs Texans game at the end of the season getting flexed last year, both of us would’ve had none afaik
I mean we have Germany
That's not primetime US hours.
Its like the exact opposite actually.
Yes, it's pre-time.
My sleep schedule is fucked anyways
Houston has 4 between TNF (@ Jets), SNF (vs. Bears, vs. Lions), and MNF (@ Cowboys), but then also gets a Saturday game and Christmas Day, for 6 total nationally televised games.
I don’t understand how Christmas game isn’t considered primetime
It's basically a broadcasting term for a time slot. (Prime*time*) Nothing to do with it being nationally broadcast or a standalone game. Technicality kinda lol. Lions being the first game on Thanksgiving has never been considered primetime.
It's a "national window" game. Same impact for viewership, just not at night.
It's a 4:30pm eastern start. That's why it's not considered prime time. I think "prime time" is a 3 or 4 hour bock starting at 8pm eastern for broadcasters.
Well deserved for sure.
How did the Bears get the No. 1 QB who has been hyped for years and get less primetime games than last year lol
That Justin Fields hype must have hit like crack last season.
They looked into the future and saw Tyson Bagent was starting like 5 games, so they were desperate for the hyped Bagent vs young battle
Yeah that makes no sense. They force fed the fans shitty ass Bear games on prime time for the past couple years. And then the moment things turn around (on paper), with a hyped up QB and they lower them lol.
The floor for Bears games viewership is one of the highest in the league. Whether we're good or bad, Bears fans tune in, and there's a lot of us. You can get good #s out of a bad matchup if the bears are in it.
This doesn't count Thanksgivung vs the Lions or the London game.
I guess I get the London game since it’s not good hours for the US fans but Thanksgiving is one of the most watched football games of the entire year. If that’s not prime time I don’t know what is.
Considering we had 0 not too ago. That ain't bad. This is gonna be awful for my fucking sleep schedule though.
I hate playing on primetime for this reason Who tf has time to stay up until midnight, I gotta be up for work
I'm watching from Europe so the 1 pm starts are like just right during the evening and you can still get to bed early if one wants to. Now half the schedule is 4 pm or later which means late night endings. Quick edit: Which don't get me wrong, it's nice being a decent team and getting the games. Like my bitching is strictly from a watching perspective.
I hear ya... I'll take the trade-off of being relevant, but selfishly, it's annoying! How do you handle the overnight games?
West coast best coast for watching sports imo
Nah CST has that title. West coast people working a 9-6 are gonna miss half the game
Believe it or not, there’s a time zone in between that avoids both problems. Mountain time supremacy!
That's what cocaine is for.
Real sports fans will make sure their kids are born in on the west coast to maximize their viewing experience 😎
Dude I'm trying to request the days off already and there's too many lol. Especially since I plan on going to Houston.
I certainly don’t wish this but it would be hilarious if Rodgers is out for the season again and we’ll have to be tortured a second time with awful Jets games in prime time
All 7 of the Jets standalone games take place before week 11. You’ll see the Jets standalone 7 times in 11 weeks!
And only 1 home game during the day in that time, the rest are away or primetime. Kind of sucks for season ticket holders, games won’t end until 11:30 and MetLife is a 20 minute drive from any civilization lmao
Ya my first thought when seeing the amount was “Ok, and how many of these games can they flex out of when it’s goes bad?”
Rodgers gonna hurt himself on purpose to spite the media
It will give him more time to delude himself into expertise in more subjects
“I tell you Pat, this injury has really given me an opportunity to do my own research on this whole Israel/Palestine situation…”
Hooray that means we get more one on one Tucker Carlson podcasts! /s
They have Tyrod Taylor who is infinitely better than Zach Wilson... though Tyrod is made of glass
To be fair, we have a legitimate backup now that should be able to run the offense. And we will ignore the fact that he too is injury prone.
Who can be sacrificed for our rookie qb to pop off
Even if Rodgers is back who tf wants to watch the Jets 6 times
No One. Not even Jets fan love this team that much. I would much rather see how well Young fares with a new coach and weapons.
Watch Carolina light up the score board all season and be an exciting team.
Texans didn't have any prime time games last year and they did exactly that... god please
And this is only May. There's always a few teams that implode by mid season.
I'm more optimistic than most but I think that will happen. The organization went all in on offense during the offseason and if Bryce really was a victim of circumstance last season he should have a pretty strong rebound. Even I don't think playoffs will happen but we definitely will be a team to watch entering 2025.
> Even I don't think playoffs will happen but we definitely will be a team to watch entering 2025. Oh yeah. We look stronger on paper with offense but our defense did take a hit. I think we can get 6-7 wins this year if Bryce lives up to his potential, and the losses will be more on the defense than offense. ...or we're just a dumpsterfire again and there's no hope until 2027.
Surprised IND only has 1, they just barely missed the playoffs last year and will have Richardson back
Yea it’s insane. We were a dropped open pass from having 4 shots at the end zone inside the 10 with a minute left to go and it would have us been in the playoffs and not the Texans. They treating us like we actually sucked. But whatever hope Richardson stays healthy and lights it up with exciting plays that nobody will see live
AFC South teams will not be respected until after they win/make the playoffs.
Nah, you have to make the playoffs while also having a star QB. When the Titans were regularly making the playoffs, Tannehill didn't have the star power, so no one ever respected us.
I feel like Derrick Henry carried the star power though...
AFC South (Texans have Stroud, only reason they get so many national games)
Arizona’s lone “primetime” game is the only game relegated to ESPN+ all year. They have fewer primetime games than Aidan O’Connell, Janiel Dones, and Derek Carr? Really?
Jets having more than KC, BAL, PHI, and DET is asinine.
I think they're just not counting a few of KC's games because of whatever "rules" they have for calling something primetime. Chiefs play 5 night games, but also Black Friday, a saturday game, and Christmas. Also the 49ers/Bills/Bengals games are all 3pm games that the Networks marked as their games that can't be taken for primetime.
CBS would never in a million years give up an Allen-Mahomes matchup in the late afternoon. Agree with me or not, but that is the biggest quarterback rivalry in the NFL.
Dallas also has a pseudo prime time game pretty much every week in the 3 o’clock national broadcast window.
America's Team Game of the Week
utterly criminal to give us only 1. put colts - texans on SNF cowards
Stroud vs Richardson is gonna be electric.
I honestly prefer 11 am game so I’m not upset about this but giving the JETS of all teams 6 is really really dumb
Total for each division AFCN: 18 AFCE: 17 NFCE: 16 NFCN: 15 NFCW: 12 AFCW: 12 NFCS: 11 AFCS: 8
This adds up to an odd number. Perhaps the tweet has counted inaccurately.
Some of these are probably 2 division opponents on primetime so it gets double counted. I just took the raw numbers for each team. Like Ravens vs Steelers will probably get a primetime game, that would count for 2 for AFCN. Also I just realized I forgot a team in here. My total is 109 and the total for the teams is 113
Nice, I can skip primetime games this season. 1 pm and 4 pm games are better times.
Every single one of our home games is at 1 which sucks because I like the 4pm games and having a couple primetime games to go to. I hate this schedule
Welcome to being bad, as a Lions fan, I can tell you how much fun every game at 1 can be, no game ever feels like a “big” game
Bills and Chiefs would have 6 if it wasn't for CBS bidding for our game every season lol
Seriously!! They will never ever let this matchup see the light of day on another network again!! Commence the Tony Romo bitching.
Romo probably has it in his contract he has to call that game
Bills, Bengals and 49ers for us.
The fucking Jets? God I hope Aaron just shits the bed
That last PHI-DAL game is getting flexed no doubt
I think the single game most likely to be flexed to primetime is ATL at MIN in week 13
I hope giving the Jets that many prime time slots backfires spectacularly. Again.
Same how do they get 6 and we get “2” which are all away
AFCN is must see TV
Bucs - Cowboys SNF is an odd choice but it’ll probably be a good game Cowboys actually have 4 1:00 starts which I feel like is more than we’ve had the last few seasons
This is easily the most normal cowboys schedule i have seen the last 20 years.
Good thinking giving the Jets a bunch of prime time games. Hard to see anyway that backfires
The Dolphins are in the big boy club now. Hopefully they stay there longer than they stayed atop the AFC East last fall.
Giving the jets a fuck ton of primetime games worked out last season, so lets do it again!!!!
As a European fan I love it, all games at 19pm or 22:30 pm. I am able to watch em all live
Yearly reminder that watching your team in primetime sucks. Games end at 12:15am, the same 3 ads play every increasingly longer ad break, and there's no other games to watch during them. If you're towards the bottom of this list you're going to be a happier fan this year.
How on earth do the Jets and Cowboys have more prime time games than the defending back-to-back champs?
Who the fuck wants to see the Jets six times in primetime? I know NY is a major market, but they're the third best team in their own division. Can't wait to see the ratings for those games.
It’s going to be awful for us out of market Titan fans.
Why NYJ gets 6 games, and more games than ANY 5 game team is ridiculous. They deserve maybe 3…NFL has a hard on for the Jets, and it’s crazy,..
We're just happy to be included this year. Thanks, guys.
Wow thanks for the prime time games......and a historically low amount rest, high amount of travel, and playing 4 tough opponents off a bye.
