And now we have a QB that shines in primetime (big games). It's great to enjoy the thought of primetime games instead of dreading how bad we'll look in front of the nation.
The league missed the boat not flexing this game. I agree tho, next year we should get a lot of primetime games. Quote:"Success doesn’t mean every single move they make is good" ~ Anonymous

The rule is currently Dallas hosts an AFC team in even years and NFC team in odd years. The only question is do ESPN/NBC get first crack at plucking games or do CBS and FOX get first crack at protecting games? edit: it looks like that hosting rule is no longer in play

They couldn't flex because KC had used up all of their primetime/SNF slots or something like that. For sure it would've been flexed, had that not come into play.

Hard for the networks to pass up big D or Brady. I hope that's what happens.

Guess they want a full crowd, and the Steelers offer the best chance for that. It would be nice to have a Sunday or Monday night game that has zero to do with Pittsburgh or the AFCN.

They always have the Super Bowl winners open up on the year, so we'll probably have the KC game to start off in prime time. The league is really going to push that as an inter-conference rivalry.
Then we'll get another Thursday, a Sunday, and a Monday nighter. Maybe some combination of the Cowboys/Titans/Bills or divisional games. LFG

Seems like that would be the national game to me...though i didn't look at any coverage maps. It was the pseudo-national game. Because CBS only had 1 game last Sunday, Chiefs-Bengals had to compete with their entire slate of games. It received the most distribution by far but still was missing major markets such as NY because they had a local game to show Winning makes believers of us all |
