List of Sunday Night Football results (2006–present)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a detailed list of results and scores from National Football League (NFL) games aired on NBC under the game package NBC Sunday Night Football. The list includes both regular season and post-season game results, both produced by NBC Sports, from the 2006 NFL season to the present.

The NFL instated a new "flex-scheduling" policy in which the NFL could choose a game to be aired in primetime on NBC based on the team's current performance and record. Previously, Sunday night NFL games were televised by ESPN, from 19872005, and TNT, from 19901997.

Starting with the 2006 NFL season, NBC was awarded the rights to air Sunday night primetime American football games, as well as the rights to air two games of the NFL playoffs. In February 2009, NBC concluded their third season of the game package by broadcasting Super Bowl XLIII and the 2009 Pro Bowl from Honolulu, Hawai'i. The game package also includes broadcast rights to the NFL Kickoff Game, the late-night Thanksgiving game, and Pro Football Hall of Fame Game.

The 2021 season marked the first time that NBC streamed its entire SNF season on its Peacock streaming service. Beginning in 2023, Peacock will also exclusively stream one national regular season game per year.

2006

[edit]

In 2006, NBC Sunday Night Football wrapped up its inaugural season averaging 17.5 million viewers, 1.2 million viewers better than Monday Night Football in 2005 on ABC and the best viewership number for the network primetime NFL package in six years (18.5 million on ABC in 2000).[1] The season featured pop singer Pink singing the anthem for SNF called "I've Been Waiting All Day For Sunday Night." This would be the only season the tentatively scheduled games during the flex period were not publicly announced.

The September 10 game marked the first time two brothers started against each other as quarterbacks: Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts, and Eli Manning of the New York Giants.

There was no game played on October 22 because it overlapped with Game 1 of the 2006 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Detroit Tigers, along with Christmas Eve night; NBC broadcast the latter week's game (Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys) on Christmas afternoon instead. However, the broadcast of Football Night in America continued at its regular time on both occasions each Sunday, with a half-hour version of the program airing before the Christmas game and the two "Wild Card Saturday" games.

2007

[edit]

In 2007, there was no game broadcast on October 28 due to Game 4 of the 2007 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Colorado Rockies, although Football Night in America aired at its usual time that week. Also, a tentative full-season schedule was unveiled, including games in the last seven weeks of the season. Those games could be replaced under flexible scheduling if the need arose. Three of the games in the last seven weeks were eventually replaced with more compelling matches. This resulted in the situation—twice—of having a team playing consecutive Sunday nights. The New England Patriots played consecutive Sunday nights: their November 18 game at the Buffalo Bills was moved to prime time, replacing the Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks game, and was subsequently followed on November 25 by their already scheduled home game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Likewise, the Washington Redskins played a scheduled game at the New York Giants on December 16, and their December 23 game at the Minnesota Vikings was moved to prime time, replacing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at San Francisco 49ers game. Also, due to playoff implications, the December 30, Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts game was flexed to prime time, replacing the Kansas City Chiefs at New York Jets game. Thus, the Colts played in the Kickoff game against the New Orleans Saints (due to winning Super Bowl XLI) and the regular season finale. The same rules under which CBS and Fox protected games for their own packages still applied.

2008

[edit]

NBC Sunday Night Football's 2008 schedule began on September 4 with the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants defeating the Washington Redskins in the NFL Kickoff game. On September 7, the Indianapolis Colts hosted the Chicago Bears in the first game at Lucas Oil Stadium. 2008 marked the third consecutive year that both the Colts and Giants would be featured in the NBC Sunday Night Football opening week games. As a result, the Manning brothers were used in commercial advertisements.

The 2008 schedule, released April 15, continued the current practice of a scheduled game possibly being moved in favor of a more compelling one during Weeks 11 through 16 (November 16 through December 21), but left the slot open on the final Sunday, December 28. The NFL Kickoff Game between the Redskins and Giants that was played on September 4 started at 7 p.m. instead of the normal 8:30 p.m. time in order to avoid conflict with the nomination speech that John McCain gave at the 2008 Republican National Convention that night; the game ended at 10:01 p.m. EDT, averting any conflict. As in previous years, one Sunday night (October 26) featured no game broadcast due to Game 4 of the 2008 World Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Philadelphia Phillies, although Football Night in America aired as usual that week.

The October 19, Seattle Seahawks-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game featured Cris Collinsworth substituting for John Madden as the color commentator, the first time Madden had missed calling a game in 28 years. He had taken the week off because he would have had to make three straight cross country trips after calling games in Jacksonville and San Diego. (He traveled by bus because of a fear of flying.)[40][41][42] The New England Patriots-Seattle Seahawks game on December 7 was dropped in favor of a Washington Redskins-Baltimore Ravens flex schedule game. The San Diego Chargers-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game on December 21 was dropped in favor of a Carolina Panthers-New York Giants game to determine home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs. The Week 17 game was purposely not chosen when the schedule was initially released, and the Denver Broncos-San Diego Chargers game was picked up for it to determine the winner of the AFC West division.

On Wild Card weekend, the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals both made their debuts on SNF in the 4:30 EDT game on January 3. The San Diego Chargers hosted the Indianapolis Colts in the primetime game later that evening.

Super Bowl XLIII, the first aired as part of this package took place on February 1 in Raymond James Stadium, with the Pittsburgh Steelers defeating the Arizona Cardinals 27–23.

[edit]

The December 16 game between the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots was interrupted for 25 minutes for NBC to cover President Barack Obama's speech in reaction to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting the previous Friday. Coverage aired on NBC Sports Network and CNBC until the speech ended, after which NBC resumed airing the game.[124]

This marked the first time the primetime Thanksgiving game would air on NBC.

2014

[edit]

Starting in the 2014 season, NBC was allowed to flex games beginning in week 5. All the previous flexible scheduling rules apply but on a limited basis. Only two games between weeks 5–10 could be flexed per season; weeks 11–17 (excluding Thanksgiving Night) flex rules were still the same as in previous years. However, despite these changes, NBC did not flex a single one of their originally scheduled games, which marked the first season since 2005 that none of the originally scheduled Sunday night games for the entire season (other than week 17) were flexed out. NBC held the rights to broadcast one Wild Card game and one Divisional game in the playoffs as opposed to two Wild Card games, lasted through 2019 in which the playoffs were contested amongst 12 teams.

2016

[edit]

2016 marked the first-ever tie on NBC Sunday Night Football, which occurred in week 7, when the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals tied at 6–6. That game became the lowest scoring SNF on NBC game (12 points) and the first tie in any primetime NFL game since November 23, 1997, when the New York Giants and Washington Redskins tied at 7–7 on ESPN Sunday Night Football. Due to NBC having the rights to the second half of the Thursday Night Football package, NBC Sports gave Al Michaels a "Bye week", giving him 3 games off: Green Bay PackersWashington Redskins, Pittsburgh SteelersIndianapolis Colts (Thanksgiving), and Kansas City Chiefs-Denver Broncos. Mike Tirico replaced him for three games, with Cris Collinsworth still doing the color commentary.[146]

The AFC Divisional Playoff game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs was originally scheduled to kickoff at 1:05 ET, but due to stormy weather in the Kansas City area, the NFL moved the kickoff time to 8:20 ET.[147]

2017

[edit]

2017 marked the 12th season of NBC Sunday Night Football. Due to Christmas Eve falling on a Sunday in 2017, the Week 16 Sunday night telecast was instead scheduled for Saturday, December 23, with the Minnesota Vikings visiting the Green Bay Packers. NBC also broadcast Super Bowl LII, played at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, making it the fourth time NBC had broadcast a Super Bowl since taking over the Sunday night package in 2006. NBC did not flex a single one of their originally scheduled games, which marked the second time since 2014 that none of the originally scheduled Sunday night games for the entire season were flexed out. For the first time since acquiring the Sunday night package, NBC aired no game in Week 17 to ensure that teams whose games would affect each other's playoff standings would be played at the same time.[148] The Atlanta Falcons-Los Angeles Rams NFC wild card game kicked off at 8:15 pm ET, while the NFC Divisional Playoff Game between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles kicked off at 4:35 pm ET.

2019

[edit]

For the 2019 season, the NFL decided to break with a long-standing tradition of the reigning Super Bowl champion hosting the Kickoff game (occurring every year since 2004, except 2013). The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears was the Kickoff game instead, to celebrate the 100th season of the NFL, the 100th season of the Chicago Bears, and the NFL's oldest rivalry. Also, despite not hosting the kickoff game, the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots still hosted the first Sunday Night game of the season, with the opponent being the Pittsburgh Steelers. The schedule also included a rematch of the Thanksgiving game between the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons, and the Cleveland Browns made their first SNF appearance since 2008. In Week 15, the Buffalo Bills were flexed to SNF in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers; this was just their second appearance on the package, the first being in 2007. The Seattle SeahawksPhiladelphia Eagles Wild Card Playoff game kicked off at 4:40 pm ET, while the Divisional game between the Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers kicked off at 4:35 pm ET.

2020s

[edit]

2020

[edit]

2020 marked the 15th season of SNF on NBC. Super Bowl LV was originally supposed to air on NBC. However, in an effort to pair NBC's next Super Bowl with their upcoming Olympics broadcast, it was traded to CBS, in exchange for Super Bowl LVI. NBC did however gain rights to air an extra Super Wild Card game, as the NFL expanded their postseason from 12 teams to 14 teams (7 in each conference). This meant that NBC aired two Super Wild Card games, with the second game being aired on NBC's Spanish sister network Telemundo, and was streamed on NBCUniversal's new streaming service Peacock, and one Divisional game for the 2020-2021 postseason.

The SNF game scheduled for October 25 was originally Buccaneers-Raiders, but due to some Raiders players testing positive for COVID-19, the NFL moved that game back to 4:05 ET on Fox, and moved the Seahawks-Cardinals game to fill the SNF slot, to ensure that NBC would have a game. NBC's Thanksgiving night game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers had to be postponed twice due to a COVID-19 outbreak on the Ravens; The game was first rescheduled to the following Sunday at 1:15 PM ET, then later rescheduled to the following Tuesday at 8:00 PM ET, and finally rescheduled to the following Wednesday at 3:40 PM ET, still aired on NBC.[150]

In Week 15, the 49ers–Cowboys game was flexed out for the Browns–Giants games, marking the first time that the Dallas Cowboys have been flexed out of an SNF slot and the first time Sunday Night Football was not in Dallas at least once in a season (they have had the most appearances with 49).[151]

2021

[edit]

The NFL expanded the season to 17 games in 18 weeks beginning with the 2021 season. 2021 also marked the 16th season of Sunday Night Football on NBC. Super Bowl LVI aired on February 13. After streaming NBC's Sunday Night Wild Card Game last season, and as part of their new television deal with the NFL, NBC streamed the entire season on Peacock for the first time. Along with Peacock's expanded involvement in the new television deal, NBC retained the rights to air SNF, gaining an additional game for Peacock, and picking up 3 additional Super Bowls in 2026, 2030, and 2034 (all Winter Olympic years).

2023

[edit]

NBC entered into its 18th season broadcasting SNF. Under a new 11-year contract, Peacock will begin to exclusively stream one national regular season game per season (with the contest also simulcast over linear television on the NBC stations in the local team's markets). Peacock's first exclusive game was the BuffaloLA Chargers contest on Saturday, December 23, at 8:05 pm ET. That was the second game of a doubleheader, preceded by the CincinnatiPittsburgh at 4:30 pm ET on NBC. The Saturday doubleheader is in lieu of an SNF game in Week 16, which falls on Christmas Eve. Peacock also exclusively aired one Wild Card playoff game, on Saturday, January 13 at 8:10 pm ET. NBC also aired two Wild Card games this postseason (one on Saturday, January 13 at 4:30 pm ET, and one on Sunday, January 14 at 8:20 pm ET) and one Divisional game. For only the third time since acquiring the SNF rights, NBC did not flex a single one of their originally scheduled games, which marked the first season since 2017 that none of the originally scheduled Sunday night games for the entire season (other than week 18) were flexed out. This was also the first time they did not flex a single game in a season when NBC does not air the Super Bowl under the new rotation. Had the 3-year rotation continued, it would have aired the Super Bowl in the 2023 season.
