NFL plans to play Christmas Day Doubleheader (Wednesday)

“The NFL is dedicated to committing themselves to player safety as evidenced by the ban on hip drop tackles and new kickoff rules.

The league has decided to make an extra regular season game and has signed a $100 million contract with Amazon Prime to continue Thursday night football and expand its program to include occasional Wednesday and Saturday games, as well as overseas games without taking into account additional travel across the Atlantic Ocean. The league will not be including an additional bye week for teams.”

OK Boomer.

 

It was obvious they are chasing the dollars and the revenue, wonder which teams get shafted with a Wednesday game. Gotta imagine it'll be teams coming off a bye or Thursday the previous week.

The chasing of profits and $ at the risk of players and employees. 

No one wants to watch an NFL game on christmas on a wednesday. 

Not every day of the week needs an NFL game, diluting the game of football is getting out of hand man.

NBA is gonna be livid.

Also playing on a Wednesday is just... how do you make that logistically unless both teams previously played the previous week on a Thursday?

The six teams that play the Saturday prior (NFL Network triple header) will play here (you only need a couple games).
