It wouldn't be out of line to say Al Michaels was le s than enthralled with the "Thursday Night Football" slate last season. After Amazon Prime's "TNF" era kicked off with a bang (Chiefs-Chargers) in Week 2, there wasn't much to write home about.Weeks 4, 5, and 6 were particularly brutal, with Tua Tagovailoa's head injury overshadowing Dolphins vs. Bengals, the Willie Snead IV Jersey Colts and Broncos putting on an inept performance, and the Commanders and Bears somehow topping it the following week.MORE:Michaels himself was often criticized for being completely checked out during some of those games, culminating in his boredom during a legitimately thrilling playoff game (that was broadcast on NBC) that saw the Jaguars erase a 27-point deficit against the Chargers to advance. Michaels brushed off criticisms of him as and now he appears ready for the 2023 season.MORE:"Absolutely! when asked if he was excited about this year's "TNF" slate. Love the way we come out of the gate. Three 'A' grade games. Two Aaron Rodgers games.Baltimore-Cincinnati, another good one. League did us Richard Seymour Jersey a solid."I was raring to go the minute I saw the whole slate. Malcolm Koonce Jersey Already thinking of storylines for each game, of which there is no shortage."MORE:Helping that enthusiasm along is the league doing away with the rule that every team must play a prime-time game. The Texans, Colts, Falcons and Cardinals are not scheduled for one this season. "TNF" was often reserved for throwaway matchups.Amazon's "Thursday Night Football" schedule this year begins with the NFC champion Eagles hosting the Vikings in Week 2. The "A-grade" games Michaels refernced will be in Weeks 11, 12 and 17. Week 12 is, in fact, the inaugural Black Friday game, which will feature Rodgers' Jets hosting the Dolphins.MORE:"Great idea," Michaels said of the Black Friday game. "Tens of millions recovering from the prior days tryptophan hangover will love it. Rodgers-Tua, a marquee matchup on any day."WeekDateMatchup2Sept. 14Vikings at Eagles3Sept. 21Giants at Bo Jackson Jersey 49ers4Sept. 28Lions at Packers5Oct. 5Bears at Commanders6Oct. 12Broncos at Chiefs7Oct. 19Jaguars atSaints8Oct. 26Buccaneers atBills9Nov. 2Titans at Steelers10Nov. 9Panthers at Bears11Nov. 16Bengals at Ravens12Nov. 24 (Friday)Dolphins at Jets13Nov. 30Seahawks at Cowboys14Dec. 7Patriots at Steelers15Dec. 14Chargers at Raiders16Dec. 21Saints at Rams17Dec. 28Jets atBrownsThe games still have to be played, and it's still to be determined whether Michaels again says games are "so bad" they're "almost good," last season. But the early returns are that the legendary broadcaster is clearly optimistic.Amazon Prime is paying about $1.3 billion per year for 11 years Fred Biletnikoff Jersey to stream these games, which is probably why the league stepped in so quickly to get rid of that pesky prime-time requirement. It stands to reason that this it is le s about the league "doing a solid," as Michaels suggests, and more about good busine s. Click here Click here Click here |
