There’s actually a congressional act that prevents the NFL from having Friday and Saturday night games most of the year.
Yup. They lose their antitrust exemption if they compete with high-school or college ball.

Which has worked to the NFL’s benefit. They wouldn’t be where they are now if they had killed off interest in lower levels of the sport 60 years ago.

I can understand dehydration in a game like soccer where you're non-stop for 45 minutes at a time, but the NFL has always puzzled me a bit more.

It's super humid out there and he's basically running sprints, plus he's loaded up with equipment which keeps the heat in.

The Giant's play calling on third down seems to be run 1 yard short of the marker and stop.
Their overall play calling blows.
That guy would have had room to spare if he caught it. I didn’t see on replay if he was interfered with

Nabers definitely looked like he face planted, but also the drop was weird, seemed like his arms went numb when Diggs hit him, and not very hard, which made me think that the earlier play where he got rolled up on his head was the original injury.

These TNF games are such trash. Did Amazon give Al some godfather deal to lure him from NBC? Can this gig actually pay more than SNF?

Giants fans are despondent on WFAN today. I thought Jones played well but his obvious limitations were on display as well. Just can’t throw the deep ball. And he’s already getting Nabers killed out there.
