Thursday Night Football is an expansion of the NFL broadcasting network. In 2006, telecasts were originally run through NFL Network’s Run to the Playoffs package, which consisted of eight total NFL games. Since 2012, the TNF package has started since the second week of the NFL season. That also includes the NFL Kickoff Game and NFL on Thanksgiving.
Here’s a look back at the week that was Week 12.
This game between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers was supposed to take place on Thanksgiving. However, the Ravens had several positive Covid-19 cases, and the league moved the game to Sunday afternoon, only to push it back again Tuesday night and then again today at 3:40 P.M. est. Several Steeler players voiced their displeasure with the NFL’s decision, most notably was star wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.
To most NFL fans, they only see the players on Sundays. Little do they know how important the people behind the scenes are. Most of the blame falls upon the head coach when the team doesn’t do well, leading to their departure, most of the time from the general manager. Sometimes, when things need a full rebuild, both the general manager and head coach get fired. That is the case of a few teams already this season.
The Kansas City Chiefs traveled to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in Week 12, and Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill each had huge games.
A matchup between two teams at opposite ends of the AFC playoff race, the Los Angeles Chargers traveled to Buffalo to battle the Bills on Sunday. A game that ultimately felt much closer than it was, Anthony Lynn’s team fell behind by multiple scores early and could never recover. Nearly giving the game away in the final quarter, Josh Allen and the Bills offense turned the ball over on three consecutive possessions in their sloppiest stretch of play so far this season. Securing their second winning season in a row for the first time in 20 years, here’s how the Bills defeated the Chargers.
In this week’s Monday Night Football matchup, the 7-3 Seattle Seahawks travel to Philadelphia to take on the 3-6-1 Eagles. The Seahawks have won the previous five meetings, including twice last year, in Week 12 and the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
In tonight’s game, we have a matchup between the 7-3 Seattle Seahawks against the 3-6-1 Philadelphia Eagles. Despite the difference in their records, both teams are in the race for their respective division titles. Depending on how the rest of the season shakes out, these two teams could meet up in the first round of playoffs, just like they did last season.
The Dolphins move to 7-4 as they took care of business today against the New York Jets.
The New England Patriots are now 5-6 and very much in the AFC playoff conversation after a last-second field goal against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Minnesota Vikings kept their playoff hopes alive with a last-minute victory against the Carolina Panthers.
The Tennessee Titans came to lay today against their division rivals. They took control of the AFC South and are looking strong heading into the final stretch of the regular season.
