At league meetings next week, the NFL will discuss ways to improve the matchup quality for Amazon Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football schedule, after last season’s Thursday-night slate became noticeably bereft of competitive games.
According to the Sports Business Journal, the NFL will discuss what is called “flex scheduling,” whereby the league can move games previously scheduled for Sundays to Thursdays for weeks 14 to 17 provided they give both teams 15 days notice. Being able to handpick teams with better records would certainly improve TNF’s matchups.
