Clete Blakeman is the referee for the Thursday night game between the Giants and Eagles airing on NBC and NFL Network.

All afternoon games in Week 16 are being played on Saturday, with an oddly slotted Christmas Eve night game on NFL Network (the only other primetime game on Dec. 24 was last season). A third game on NFL Network is in pre-primetime on Christmas Day, followed by the regular Sunday and Monday night games on NBC and ESPN.

Terry McAulay has the week off.
