I remember there was a Chiefs/Falcons Thursday night game scheduled for the week the strike started ('82?)

First prime time game we'd had in forever and it gets axed by the strike.

Edit: Found it.

Looks like he might have.

One more thing about the data: I categorized games by which brand produced the broadcast, because if not it would get messy. The different programs often air games on a night that isn't in their title. Even when MNF was the only primetime show, they sometimes had games on Sundays, Thursdays, Saturdays, or even Fridays. It happens today mostly at the end of the season, especially around Christmas.
