Additional notes

According to Nielsen Media Research, the Broncos-Chiefs game that opened this package was the highest-rated program on cable/satellite TV in the United States on November 23, 2006, with a 6.8 rating (among available households) and an average of 4.2 million households. These numbers are especially remarkable, considering that millions of potential fans were unable to see the game due to their cable systems not making it available to them.

The game was simulcast on NFL Network, NBC, and CBS. The game was also available to watch online at NFL.com/Live. The game was the first three-network simulcast in NFL history and the first simulcast of any kind of an NFL game since Super Bowl I in 1967, when CBS and NBC both televised the first meeting of the champions of the newly merged National Football League and American Football League.[1]

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady surpasses Peyton Manning (49 touchdowns; 2004) with his 50th touchdown of the season, a pass to wide receiver Randy Moss, which coincidentally was Moss' 23rd receiving touchdown of the year surpassing Jerry Rice (22 touchdowns; 1987). The Patriots became the highest scoring team in a single season (594 points) surpassing the 1998 Vikings' 556 points.

The Patriots and Giants would meet again in Super Bowl XLII over a month later. The Patriots were still on their undefeated streak (18-0) while the Giants were winners of an NFL-record 10-straight road games. The Giants defeated the Patriots in the rematch by a score of 17–14 to claim their third Super Bowl championship.

2009 season

The 2009 season featured a Friday night game on December 25, as the Thursday that week was Christmas Eve, and the NFL tried not to schedule games that night in deference to the holiday (a lone exception being a Monday Night Football game in 2007 due to scheduling conflicts caused by ESPN's broadcast contracts). Also, the start times were pushed back by five minutes, to 8:20 p.m. Eastern time (except for the December 25 game, starting at 7:30 PM EST/6:30 CST).

For the 2016 and 2017 seasons, a new Thursday Night Football deal took effect. Thursday Night Football was now an 18-game schedule with CBS broadcasting 5 games, NBC broadcasting 5 games, and the NFL Network simulcasting the whole season with 8 games exclusively. CBS Sports and NBC Sports each produced 4 NFL Network-only games.[3] The NFL also sold the digital rights to the package separately to Twitter.[4] Due to scheduling conflicts, NBC Sports had Mike Tirico team up with Cris Collinsworth for the Giants-Eagles game. Tirico, Doug Flutie, and Tony Dungy also called Dolphins-Jets and Ravens-Steelers.

2017 season

2017 marked the second and final year of the NFL's Thursday Night Football contract with CBS and NBC, as Fox would take over next season. Also, Amazon replaced Twitter as the digital rights holder. Also, along with the change in digital viewing, it was announced that there were 11 games simulcast between CBS, NBC, and NFL Network. While CBS kept the original 5 games, NBC simulcasted 6 games with NFL Network. Also, the change meant that CBS produced 4 NFL Network-only games, while NBC produced 3 NFL Network-only games, including a Week 15 Saturday doubleheader.[5] In addition, after being banned from TNF for a year, and as backup play-by-play for NBC, Mike Tirico replaced Al Michaels full-time on Thursday night games. Tirico became the new studio host, replacing Bob Costas, who retired from many major jobs with the network, like the Olympics. He was also slated to be backup play-by-play announcer, replacing Michaels on various occasions. Michaels focused on Sunday night games, while Tirico handled Thursday nights with Cris Collinsworth or Kurt Warner.
