Normally, it's broadcast locally. Usually, Channel 13. But, I don't see it on the listings for any of the over the air networks. Something to keep an eye on for next week.

The game will only be broadcast on NFL Network.............get ready, this is only the beginning of the NFL trying to transition to pay-per-view profiting. Certainly not an enhancement of the "fan experience"...........just an attempt at enhancement of NFL revenues...........if fans are as fanatic to watch their football as the NFL pegs them..........no matter the cost..............
Yep. All Thursday games in 2022 will be on Amazon Prime and I think I heard that they won't be televised on local stations for the teams involved. So Prime or no TNF in 2022.
The moment I stop watching is when playoff games become pay-per-view only. It's coming. Not if, but when.

Ryan Fitzpatrick suffered a hip subluxation. Yet after supposed thorough evaluation, he has chosen to avoid surgery and proceed with intense conservative rehabilitation. Subluxation stretches the hip ligaments and can leave the joint unstable. It is not uncommon for labral and/or articular cartilage to be damaged. Players with a hip subluxation may have many of the same complications as those who sustain a hip dislocation. Over time, these individuals are just as liable to develop hip labral tears, osteonecrosis, and hip arthritis. The arthritis in this particular injury not uncommonly occurs within months rather than years............a reason that I am very skeptical of Tua's future. Both players have hip replacement in at least their long-term future. I won't be surprised to hear that following an unsuccessful rehab, Fitzpatrick ultimately ops for surgery.
TNF on prime starts Oct 7th
I don't see that ever happening. I mean never say never of course, but I just don't think even for the right price the league would cut off such a large chunk of it's audience. Cutting bait on their worst regular broadcast of the season that accounts for less than 3% of their regular season games for a $1B payout from Amazon is one thing. Effectively turning their most important games of the season off is a whole other kettle of fish.
Even with the NFL network I hardly ever watch more than a handful of drives of TNF games year by year. They're generally sh*t games playing out sh*t matchups by teams that are perpetually banged up mid-week. Most folks complain each season that TNF should just be scrapped as it is. More likely the league is aware of the low quality and just decided to cash out of the experiment rather than ditch it once they had the offer than it is that they have a long-term plan to go to a minimal-viewership model.

Mariota suffered a quad injury in his last run of the game. It is actually a grade II tear. The team is reporting that he will be out a few week. Looking into it, although Injury Reports are not required during preseason, it appears that he first injured his quad in TC.........so this is a re-tear of his quad. He should rehab for no less than 6 weeks, and then he remains a high risk for re-injury for the rest of the season.

Locally the game is carried by one of the local TV stations. At least it always has been in the past. And you can always get it on the Yahoo app. And I think the NFL app as well.

*I did not have access to a local TV broadcast of the Texans/Jags game. I discovered that Yahoo Sports secured an NFL deal to be able to show local games on your cell phone, via the Yahoo Sports app! I was able to thoroughly enjoy the game last Sunday. Looking at the app's schedule, the Texans/Browns game is slated to be shown! Hope this works for you all!

Heineke looks like the Redskins QB of the future.

He's a Romo clone. But we'll see...
Pretty darn good if he can stay healthy.
I only watched the first half. Both QBs were pretty impressive imo
Yes, simulcast with other networks this season, but not in 2022:

I hope you are right, but it makes you wonder when you read stuff like this:
Now it's just speculation and they say the soonest something like this could happen is 2034 based on network contracts, but money is money and greed is greed and who knows what the broadcasting landscape could look like in 15 years.
And deactivated his Instagram
Ya, I absolutely agree with never underestimating the hooks greed can dig into someone(s). But it's funny to see a former exec speaking about someone else's business purely speculatively and doing so in terms of a dying model like ppv.
I think it's more likely that the sooner those broadcast contracts near renewal and the league looks at the gargantuan guaranteed money a new deal will bring versus the wonky state of ppv and the overall effect on their relationships with broadcast entities they'll take known greed over the other while not closing the door on a massive chunk of their audience. Jmo, of course.
According to this link above, TNF games will still be broadcast over the air in the participating teams' markets.

That's weird, because the Giants/Football Team game was broadcast in NYC over the air by the NBC affiliate. Heard Boomer Esiason say on his radio show this morning that the NBC broadcast also had the Spanish language broadcast audio leaking through in the background.
Still can't find a listing for the Panthers/Texans game other than NFL Network. I'm beginning to think the local stations passed on the broadcast rights, preferring to stay with their primetime schedule. That would be a big wow.
FIFY
I don't know that they would show a listing this far in advance, but yeah if they didn't that would be huge

Unless he's dw's wingman at the parlors, this should probably be in the nfl football forum instead of the team forum.

For real or give DJohn his own thread so he can play the six degrees of Deshaun Watson. Dude is even responding to his own posts.

I don't know how accurate this is but on my Uverse guide I show it on NBC (channel 2 in Houston).
That's actually funny. Are you still salty that me and my "Law & Order" watching degree corrected a legal scholar like yourself on how extradition works?
Get over it. At least with that new-found knowledge you will not post any gibberish about Fuller fighting extradition.

Will Fuller was suspended for 6 games for PED violation...........that extended into week 1 of 2021 season. He has not practiced since the beginning of TC, supposedly because of a "foot injury" which was initially reported as very minor.........day-to-day. Now that the suspension is over, he has still not practiced and the team is reporting that he will not play in week 2 due to a "personal issued." Word now is that he may not play a single down for the Dolphins this year. You have to wonder if Fuller may have again been discovered to taint himself with an illegal substance. This will be one less drama that the Texans have had to deal with this year.

If the guide is even correct I don't think NBC is covering the game. I think the local NBC station is rebroadcasting the NFL channel feed just for the Houston audience.
Could not find much but I found an article about Amazon broadcasting TNF in 2023 that seems to confirm that local stations will still broadcast the games.
Here's the quote
"In a new agreement, Amazon would be responsible for all the production costs and would still need to pay a local broadcaster to produce the game for home markets, as the NFL wants the Thursday night games to be broadcast on local TV in each of the participating teams’ home markets."

Fox/Amazon only paid for the 11 games they will show. The other eight are on the NFL Network and will be broadcast locally by someone in both home team markets. From what I have read TNF has not really been a money maker.
If I remember correctly most of the time MNF & TNF when the Texans were playing was shown on Houston channel 39 (MNF every now & then was on ABC 13). The only reason I know is my dad is 88 years old & I always have to look up which channel the game will be on as he only gets local channels.

Has nothing to do with CBS or NBC. It’s the local affiliates KPRC, KHOU or whoever.
People dont like admitting they're wrong.
