​The NFL has invested a lot in their venture of Thursday Night Football over the past few seasons. There has been a lot of negative attention regarding the Thursday Night Football games including effects on player safety, and poor quality of play with only 3 days to prepare coming off of a Sunday game.





Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk has reported that the NFL's love affair with Thursday Night Football may be coming to an end.

​​The NFL's current Thursday Night Football contract with CBS and NBC ends after the 2017 season, so you can expect to see some changes for the 2018 season.





According to the reaction on Twitter, NFL fans are happy to see Thursday Night Football disappear. Along with the short recovery time for players and truncated preparation time for coaches, the NFL may be reaching the point of over saturation with football all day Sunday and national TV games on Sunday, Monday and Thursday night.





For once it looks like the NFL is making a smart decision. Let's hope that continues into the future.
