The NFL is getting closer to having a game every day of the week as the…..

The NFL has not scheduled a game for each day of the week.Cameron Jordan, defensive end for the Orleans Saints, stated. “NFL, 24 hours, you can watch them play any given day.” The veteran, who is ready for his 14th season, has a way of injecting humorous mockery into his assessments, which hits the mark. With the NFL on track to play a game every day of the week in the 2024 season, the league known as “any given Sunday” may well earn that new designation.

It’s all part of the NFL’s strategy to expand the game and the league. “Our job is to be everywhere our fans are,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said when asked about the league’s new three-year Netflix arrangement, which this year includes Wednesday games. “They have about 300 million global subscribers. We are clearly focused on becoming more global. So it’s a great boost for us.

That agreement is why the NFL, which has scheduled and played games on Christmas for years, will play not one, but two games on Christmas, with defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City at Pittsburgh as part of a holiday doubleheader finished by Baltimore at Houston. The difference is that this will be the NFL’s third game on a Wednesday since 1950.

The four teams involved all play on Saturday, allowing coaches and players to experience the type of turnaround that occurs when a Sunday game is followed by a Thursday night game. Tuesday is the Chiefs’ sole day off this season, and it is technically the only day off for NFL players who play on Sundays. According to Washington coach Dan Quinn, the key to preparation is to stay to a schedule and shift days. That entails attempting to trick the body clock.

This would be like a Wednesday or a Friday, and this is what we do before the game, so it’s not as difficult as it appears,” Quinn explained. “You have some travel that you have to work in, shorter weeks, longer weeks, but staying true to a process.

In a schedule that includes two Thursday games, the Baltimore Ravens will only miss games on Tuesdays and Fridays. Baltimore’s three-game stretch in 11 days will come to an end with Christmas. Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton said it’s more of a “shock factor,” but players will adapt and prepare for what might be the start of a new era in the NFL. He believes players had similar chats when the NFL debuted games on Monday nights and then Thursday evenings.

“I’m sure ten years from now, that might be the norm,” Hamilton said of an NFL schedule that includes games throughout the week. Will Hernandez, an Arizona offensive lineman, said it is difficult to get the body to bounce back quickly. “Let me reiterate: We all agreed to it. We are aware of what it is. “Let’s just leave,” Hernandez said. The NFL used to have a marquee game on Monday nights. A new contract added games on Sunday nights. The NFL then started commencing seasons on Thursday nights in 2006. Because of the outbreak, the NFL played its first Tuesday night game in 10 years. The NFL had not played on a Tuesday since 1946.
