If things go south this season, it's nice to know we have a very winnable week 17 game to screw up our draft order 😂😭. NYG attempting like 4 passes in a half against us last year late in the season comes to mind.

Week 9: Bills at Vikings, MNF.

Week 14 Vikings at New England on Thursday Night Football. Seems like Vikings are getting their share of Prime Time also, my guess is because of the Short King. Giddy up.

The Minnesota #Vikings will travel to New England in week 14 to take on the #Patriots on Thursday Night Football.

Short King assuming face of the franchise.

Why TF do they play TNF again?

It is so hard on the players with a 17 game season.

U would think ownership would want to protect assets as much as make $$$

Owners just want money, period. They don't give a shit about what's in the best interest of the game itself as long as the money keeps rolling in. They prove it every offseason. They keep wanting to add more games, more games internationally, and more games on short rest. The NFLPA does nothing and is complicit in providing a worse product on the field. Most fans would do away with Thursday night football (except on Thanksgiving) if given the choice to alleviate unnecessary risk for player injury and just an overall bad product, which most Thursday night football games are. Football was never intended to be a short week sport and recovery time for players and game planning for coaches are essential.

I guess I haven't paid much attention, but when did the NFL go from two or three int'l games to NINE? I've always thought of these international games mostly as a novelty, an opportunity for the NFL-curious overseas to see what the fuss is all about. Good for them, good for the NFL. But this is now serious seed planting. Can you imagine the revenue, cap, and contract picture if the TV contracts go global?

2026 NFL International Games Schedule (Confirmed):
Sept. 10 (Week 1): San Francisco 49ers vs. Los Angeles Rams (Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia).

Oct. 18 (Week 6): Houston Texans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (Wembley Stadium, London, UK).

7 international games last season. 5 in 2024. I heard that Goodell's goal is a full 16 games at some point.

More prime time, bitches!

Those dirty, cheese eating bastards in Game 1 at U.S. Bank....3:25 central start, so my guess is Fox's National Game of the Week. Let's slap these bitches. That's either 5 or 6 nationally televised game so far.
