What NFL Team Played Last Night?
Contents
If you’re a football fan, you probably want to know what NFL team played last night. Luckily, we have the answer for you. Check out our blog post to find out.
Introduction
NFL games are typically played on Sunday afternoons, but occasionally there are games on Thursday nights, Monday nights, and Saturday nights.
The NFL schedule is released in the spring, and it tells fans what time their team will be playing each week. However, the NFL does not release its nationally televised game schedule until later in the summer.
Now that the NFL season has started, there are several ways to find out what NFL team played last night. The easiest way is to simply check the television schedule for the day before, and see what time and channel the game was supposed to be on. If you don’t have a TV guide handy, most major networks list their primetime lineup on their websites.
Another way to find out is by visiting a website that tracks NFL scores and schedules, like NFL.com or ESPN.com. These websites will list any games that were played the previous night, along with the final score.
The NFL Schedule
Regular Season
The National Football League regular season usually begins on the weekend following the Labor Day holiday. After each team has played 16 games, the NFL playoffs begin in January. From September through December, NFL teams play one game each week except for the following weeks:
– Week 4: All teams are on bye
– Week 10: All teams are on bye
– Week 11: Thanksgiving games are played on Thursday
– Week 12: There are no Thursday or Monday night games
– Week 17: The final week of the regular season, all games are intra-divisional
Preseason
The National Football League’s preseason is the period each year during which NFL teams play several not-for-the-record exhibition games before the regular season starts. Beginning with the featured Pro Football Hall of Fame game in early August, five weekends of exhibition games are currently played in August and September (formerly six weekends had been played from 1970 to 2005). Prior to the eventful 1970 preseason, seven exhibition games were played in most years from 1947 to 1969. The number of games played by each team has varied widely since this time; currently, San Francisco 49ers fans have seen their team play as few as two preseason matches, while Carolina Panthers supporters have watched their heroes take the field up to eight times (the maximum).
When the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears met for the first time on November 27, 1921, it marked the beginning of one of America’s greatest traditions – Thanksgiving Day football. The two teams met again on Thanksgiving Day in 1922 and 1923. In 1924, NFL President Joseph Carr scheduled a third game on Thanksgiving Day between his Cleveland Indians and a team to be determined later. The Detroit Lions were that team and they defeated the Indians 26-7.
The Lions became a fixture on Turkey Day, hosting annual holiday contests from 1934-1938 and then every year from 1944-1974 with three exceptions: 1959, 1972 and 1973. The Dallas Cowboys joined the holiday fun in 1966, hosting annual Thanksgiving Day contests from 1966-1978 with two exceptions: 1974 and 1975. Since 2006, the Cowboys have hosted a game every year except 2009. In 2011, there was a Thanksgiving tripleheader for the first time in NFL history.
Postseason
The NFL schedule is released every year in April. The regular season typically runs from September to December, with 16 games played over 17 weeks. The postseason consists of four rounds of playoff games, culminating in the Super Bowl.
How to Find Out Who Played Last Night
Checking the NFL Schedule
The NFL schedule is released in the spring, typically in early April. However, the league occasionally will release the schedule a few days earlier than planned. For example, in 2020 the NFL schedule was originally supposed to be released on Thursday, April 16. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the league decided to release it on Tuesday, May 12.
You can find the NFL schedule on the league’s website, nfl.com. Once you’re on the site, click on the “Schedule” tab at the top of the page. Then select “Regular Season” from the drop-down menu.
If you’re looking for a specific team’s schedule, you can click on that team’s logo in the “Team Schedules” section on the right-hand side of the page. Or you can use the search bar at the top of the page to find a team’s schedule by typing in that team’s name or city.
Once you find a team’s schedule, you can click on any of their opponents to see that team’s schedule as well. For example, if you want to see who played last night, you would find tonight’s game on a team’s schedule and then click on their opponent to see who played last night.
Checking the NFL standings
To find out who played last night, look at the NFL standings. If you’re looking for a specific game, look at the NFL schedule. The NFL schedule is divided into weeks, with each team playing one game per week. The NFL season typically runs from September to January, with the playoffs occurring in January and February.
Conclusion
The answer to this question depends on what day of the week it is. On Monday nights, it is always the case that the game featured is between two AFC teams. On Thursday nights, the game is between two NFC teams. Sunday nights feature either an AFC team or an NFC team, depending on which network is broadcasting the game.
