NFL divisional round overreactions
Mackenzie Salmon breaks down the divisional round of the NFL playoffs as the championship game matchups are set.
Sports Seriously
Thursday nights are a little more open now.
With the NFL season only having Sunday’s left on the schedule, everyone has some more free time to take care of other priorities. After all, that grocery shopping won’t take care of itself.
Amazon, with their “Thursday Night Football” schedule in the rearview mirror, can now return to delivering snacks and necessities within 24 hours. With Jeff Bezos tending to other needs, will some other network take the reins for a Thursday night game on the gridiron?
The short answer is “no,” which is coincidently the long answer as well.
Fans of the Thursday night games will have to wait until the fall. Here’s what to know about the NFL’s conference championship round and “Thursday Night Football.”
Is there a Thursday Night Football game tonight?
There is not a “Thursday Night Football” game in the conference championship round of the NFL playoffs.
The NFL bid farewell to Thursday night games in Week 17 when the Seahawks knocked off the Bears, 6-3. Amazon Prime, the home of “Thursday Night Football,” finished their season with a playoff game in the wild card round and will return in the fall.
CBS and Fox will carry the conference championship round, which begins on Sunday, Jan. 26 when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Washington Commanders at 3 p.m. ET, with a spot in Super Bowl 59 on the line.
