The NFL’s new scheduling rule, allowing the league to flex Thursday Night Football games late in the season, has drawn criticism across the sport from fans, players and media alike.
However, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Eagles center Jason Kelce are big proponents of the league’s decision, even if it means that their respective team plays two Thursday Night games in one season.
“As we’ve talked about before, I’m a huge fan of the Thursday Night game,” Jason said on the duo’s New Heights podcast. “Listen, I am all for games being played on Thursdays because that means we have walkthroughs during the middle of the week and we don’t practice. Then we get three days off after the game.”
