NFL Turning Point which premiered this season and aired Thursday nights on Versus will be moving a night earlier to Wednesdays starting this week. The move is being made so not to conflict with Thursday Night Football on NFL Network and not to be out of date since Turning Point talks about the previous week’s action and the Thursday Night game marks the beginning of the new week in the National Football League.
Dan Patrick will continue to host. Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison will join him to preview this Sunday night’s New England Patriots-New York Jets game on NBC.
We have the announcement of the move plus a preview of Wednesday night’s show.

The middle segment will feature a comparison between quarterbacks Philip Rivers of the San Diego Chargers and Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, who combined for eight touchdown passes this past weekend, as well as highlights from that game
Patrick will conclude the show with a segment featuring his Football Night colleagues Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison that focuses on the chess match between the two coaches in the upcoming New England Patriots-New York Jets Sunday Night Football game on NBC.
