FOX Secures Thursday Night Football for Five Years
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/f...er-five-years/
FOX just outbid CBS and NBC to dump a ton of money on the NFL for TNF. $3.3B over 5 years. The games will still be weeks 4 through 15, not including Thanksgiving, they will still be simulcast on NFL Network, and they don't include streaming rights so the NFL can still try to go to Amazon or Yahoo or whoever for streaming rights for TNF. |

The thing is, it could be easily fixed.
Teams that play on Thursday night should be coming off a Bye Week, which would give players 10 full days of rest before the Thursday Night Game and a full 9 days of rest until their next Sunday game. |

And I'm not even sure that's mathematically possible with the current Week 4-15 format. It's shitty football, and is going to be the cause of careers being cut short, IMO. |
