Thursday Night Football Heads To The Great Northwest

To kick off Week 13 in the National Football League, Thursday Night Football heads to the upper Northwest corner of the United States and Seattle. There, NFL Network will air what could be the last gasp for the Philadelphia Eagles as they attempt to keep their extremely slim playoff hopes alive against the Seattle Seahawks.

The game starts at 8:20 p.m. ET after Thursday Night Kickoff hosted by Rich Eisen with accompaniment from several analysts. And of course, you have Brad Nessler, Mike Mayock and Alex Flanagan on the case throughout the game. The NFL Network provides its usual particulars for the game in the following press release.

Thursday Night Football

Last Thursday’s San Francisco 49ers-Baltimore Ravens game on NFL Network was watched by an average of 10.7 million viewers (note including over-the-air stations in San Francisco and Baltimore) – ranking as the most watched program in the eight-year history of NFL Network and the most-watched cable program ever on Thanksgiving.

This week’s matchup features a pair of hot running backs as NFL rushing and touchdown leader LESEAN MCCOY leads the Philadelphia Eagles against the Seattle Seahawks and MARSHAWN LYNCH, who has scored in seven consecutive games.

That’s it for this post.
