It's rather ridiculous to put Packers-Lions on SNF when the Lions' fate will likely already be known prior to kickoff. Probably true regarding the ratings, however, as a football fan, I'd like to think that the #4 seed win-and-in game is more interesting than the #7 seed game. Huge miss by the NFL IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge miss by the NFL IMO. You would think...but it appears that that thinking has changed this year, for whatever reason. I think it really did mean something in previous years, but apparently ratings are now a bigger factor, especially in justifying the media deals.

Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 When will we know if we're playing the Jan 14 or 15? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's generally I think before the Sunday night game, because by that point they'll know most of the matchups by then, outside of the Packers situation.

Never understood the addition of MNF from a competitive standpoint. Just another money grab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately begging for one of the 3:30 games beings it's a Minnesota/New York market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
