It's actually a anti trust law.
Crafted by Congress in 1961 after a court decision determined that the practice of selling TV rights for the entire league violates antitrust laws, the Sports Broadcasting Act has a key caveat for the NFL — no games can be televised on Friday nights from the second Friday in September until the second Saturday in December.

Exactly. But they should add Tuesday night NFL games. Hump day can be the day of rest.
Tuesday nights? Hell to the nooooo.
Sunday and Monday is good enough. Thanksgiving games and some late weeks on Saturday is all they need. Don't need a game on Christmas either.
Yep. But Thursday Night Football is worth billions of dollars per year to the NFL so they'll never get rid of it.Thursday games all during the season was a bad idea.
I know. It was good for the NFL to make money. Not for the playersYep. But Thursday Night Football is worth billions of dollars per year to the NFL so they'll never get rid of it.

well the nfl will get that from bezos to stick it on amazon prime, which forces people to subcribe to that. And it sucks if you dont have a reliable service that can provide clean streams.
not everyone had Prime nor the internet service to support it. Picture is not great and buffering/pixelation is still an issue and we have Gig service and hardwire ethernet to our main TVs.
stupid move by the NFL.
That injury report scares me. Didn’t know Ben Jones was out too! Hopefully Big Jeff makes it back
Maybe time to cut bait with Dupree, he just cannot stay on the field and making way to much money
Cut him post June one save 15.75 million with 4,5 cap hit. He does not play enough to warrant his contract.
We need Fulton and Big Jeff. Ben Jones is a big hit to an already bad oline
Jones and Hooker also ruled out.
WTF is up with Hooker these days.
The absolute worst time for a Thursday Night game.
I'm so fed up with all these damn injuries. I understand it's part of the game, but this is getting out of hand.

Maybe our status as a "tough and physical" team is the cause of it ever year. Vrabel probably demands more from the bodies of our guys than most other teams.
Why would you sign Lambo and not Blankenship to kick? Blankenship has bigger leg and Lambo couldn't make extra points
