Introduction

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major North American professional sports leagues, the highest professional level of American football in the world, the wealthiest professional sport league by revenue, and the sport league with the most valuable teams. The NFL’s 17-week regular season runs from early September to late December, with each team playing 16 games and having one bye week. Following the conclusion of the regular season, six teams from each conference (four division winners and two wild card teams) advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament culminating in the Super Bowl, which is usually held on the first Sunday in February and is played between the champions of the NFC and AFC.

History of the Thursday Night NFL Game

The Thursday Night Football game is a broadcast of weekly National Football League games that typically take place during the second half of the league’s regular season. NBC and CBS share the broadcasting responsibilities for the Thursday Night Football games, with each station airing five games during the season.

The first regular season Thursday Night Football game was broadcast on September 10, 1970, between the New York Jets and the visiting Cleveland Browns. The game was not televised nationally, but was carried by New York City’s then-independent station WNEW-TV (now a Fox owned-and-operated station).

In 1978, ABC began televising a selection of Thursday night games as part of its Monday Night Football package. The games were subcontracted out to various local stations in selected markets (an arrangement similar to how ESPN later handled its Sunday night NFL broadcasts in some markets during the 1980s).

The first NFL game televised on aThursday night as part of ABC’s Monday Night Football package was a match-up between the Green Bay Packers and the visiting Detroit Lions on November 23, 1978. For several years thereafter, ABC continued to televise a limited number of Thursday night games on an annual basis as part of its Monday Night Football package.

In 1986, the NFL began televising all Thursday night games on a national basis as part of its newly created NFL Network cable channel. Beginning with that year’s Thanksgiving Day game between New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys, every Thursday night game would be televised on NFL Network cable channel through 2013 season.
