NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION 2024 Week 13 Other NFL Games

[jmt57]

Six exclusive national telecasts means zero byes this week.

A seventh national telecast is the best game of the week: 9-2 Philadelphia at 8-4 Baltimore in the late afternoon window on CBS.
There are also two other games with both teams owning winning records: Chargers at Atlanta, and Arizona at Minnesota.
In terms of draft order, the biggest (worst) game of the week is the second Thanksgiving game, Giants at Dallas.

We also have a 3:00 game on Friday, with the NFL barely circumventing their broadcasting antitrust exemption. The Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 states that there can be no pro football games on Friday nights after 6:00 pm, as well as no games on a Saturday from the second weekend of September through the second weekend of December. I suppose the league skated around the law by suggesting the game is scheduled to finish by 6:00 - but I am curious, what if that is not the case? What if it goes to overtime? Would they be compelled to stop broadcasting the game if the clock on the wall read 6:01, but the scoreboard clock was anything other than all zeros?

[Pape]

A black Friday game? Is that new?

 

[sb1]

Pats should be the national game. Ratings baby

A black Friday game? Is that new?

Last year was the first.
Miami beat the Jets in New Jersey, 34-13.
The Jete had somebody named Tim Boyle as their QB.

AFC East rivals Dolphins and Jets square off in NFL's first Black Friday game

The Dolphins will face Tim Boyle, who makes his first start at quarterback for the Jets and fourth of his NFL career. New York is trying to snap a three-game skid.

www.wcnc.com

JETS PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Tim Boyle. The 29-year-old backup quarterback makes his fourth NFL start and first with the Jets as he replaces the benched Zach Wilson. Boyle spent his first three seasons in Green Bay behind Aaron Rodgers and then made his only three previous starts during the 2021 season after signing with Detroit. In 18 career NFL games, mostly in mop-up duty, Boyle is 73 of 120 for 607 yards and three touchdowns with nine interceptions.​

How did the Dolphins - heck, how did any team - end up playing on Black Friday, the chronically chaotic shopping day that the NFL historically has avoided? ​

​

As part of its 11-year, $11 billion deal for streaming rights to Thursday night NFL games, Amazon asked for a game on the day after Thanksgiving.​

So, apparently Amazon bought the rights to a Black Friday game as part or their master plan to rule the universe, by putting malls and other brick and mortar competition out of business.

Nice hospital ball Caleb

 

[TheRainMaker]

The legend of Dan Skipper has been starting at LT for the Lions. Surprised nobody has talked about it.

 

[Ununcle]

Man this gibbs guy is slippery.

 

[sb1]

This Goff isn't the same guy we saw in SB53.

 

[Ununcle]

LA getting rid of Goff is starting to remind me of The chargers getting rid of Breese. oops.

 

[sb1]

LA getting rid of Goff is starting to remind me of The chargers getting rid of Breese. oops.

Eh at least they got their SB with Stafford

 

[TheRainMaker]

LA getting rid of Goff is starting to remind me of The chargers getting rid of Breese. oops.

Rams won a Super Bowl, so Goff will have to match that. This year is his chance.

 

[sb1]

Unless there's an unexpected trip to the SB Pats don't play the Lions until 2026. I'm ok with that.

 

[gtfanboy]

This is the lions years if they don't f*ck it up

 

[Ununcle]

Rams won a Super Bowl, so Goff will have to match that. This year is his chance.

Yeah, even if Lions win the Bowl this year that was a ridiculous comparison on my part. Staffords stats beat out goffs in every measure. Damn, i'm not even drunk yet.

 

[Ununcle]

This is the lions years if they don't f*ck it up

I'm not seeing how this team doesn't wreck KC.

 

[Love The Drake]

Kraft please roll a Brinks truck for Ben Johnson.

 

[Scotty]

Bears only have 15 yards of offence with 2 mins to go until half time .....wow

 

[Scotty]

I'm not seeing how this team doesn't wreck KC.

Absolutely agree .....but I have this fear that if it is Lions v KC in the SB will Goff stand up to the pressure where Mahomes has done it several times.......just a worry

 

[TinhWoodhead]

I'm not seeing how this team doesn't wreck KC.

I have a hard time trusting dome teams in January… outdoor

 

[KCSVEN]

Kraft please roll a Brinks truck for Ben Johnson.

Ben Johnson is the perfect OC for modern day NFL, yeah he has a ton of talent to work with but he’s special. You never know how someone is as a head coach, but he would immediately upgrade the offensive playcalling.
But he’s going to have his choice of places to go. He wants to have a quarterback wherever he goes.
-Giants? who can draft a QB.
-Bears? Maybe but Maye is much better than Williams.
-Jags? Maybe he’s already working with an average QB that he’s made look really good.
-Saints,Cowboys, Jets, Bucs, Raiders, Browns? Bucs have QB but not others

Patriots could entice him more than any team but doubt they will
