The National Football League reached agreement with CBS and NBC to share its Thursday night prime-time package of games along with the league-owned cable channel NFL Network, people familiar with the matter said.

Under the terms of the deal, which will cost the networks about $225 million each, CBS and NBC would each carry five Thursday night games that also will be simulcast on the NFL Network, the people said. The NFL Network will also carry several games exclusively.

So how good has Finnegan been this year?

Finnegan as in Cortland Innegan?

He's been decent considering the fact the Panthers got him off the couch in the middle of the season.

As long as Colin Jones AKA that dude who DeSean Jackson absolutely destroyed in the WAS game doesn't see the field I'm ok with the Panthers' secondary.

Innegan is going to get a ring before Andre.

Once again this is all the Colts fault.

Well and Andre too for picking a fucking divisional opponent to sign with....

^^^ It's too early for this. Hue doesn't have the power to stage a coup at this point in time. I want Johnny to get the help he needs and then return to the field as QB for a team in the future. It sucks that he's going through this but teams don't like distractions. Browns FO does the right thing and gets Johnny help before considering his future with the team.

It's more likely Hue trades for AJ McCarron and drafts a QB to cement the future of the Browns with at least a serviceable QB at the helm somehow. What does Cinci want for AJ anyway?

I see.

I'm just kinda crusing through their team, as I don't necessarily follow them that closely. I remember him coming on board, but I didn't know how's he's played with Benwikere out.

Thanks.

The National Football League will expand Thursday Night Football in 2016 and 2017, continuing its partnership with CBS while also adding NBC as a partner, it was announced today by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Leslie Moonves, President and CEO, CBS Corp., and Steve Burke, CEO, NBC Universal.

Both CBS and NBC will broadcast five Thursday Night Football games, growing the package to 10 broadcast games in 2016 and 2017 from eight in 2014 and 2015. All Thursday Night Football broadcast games will continue to be simulcast on NFL Network. NFL Network will also exclusively televise an eight-game schedule of regular season games comprised of Thursday Night Football, late-season games on Saturday, and additional games to be determined.

Both CBS and NBC will produce Thursday Night Football with their lead broadcasters and production teams, and both will contribute to the production of Thursday Night Football exclusively on NFL Network. CBS and NFL Network will televise the first half of the Thursday Night Football schedule with NBC and NFL Network televising the second half.

The NFL is in active discussions with prospective digital partners for OTT streaming rights to Thursday Night Football. A deal announcement is expected in the near future.

"We are continuing to make Thursday Night Football bigger and better. CBS has played an integral role over the last two seasons in helping build Thursdays as a night for NFL football, and we're excited to have them on board again," said Commissioner Goodell. "At the same time, we're thrilled to add NBC to the Thursday Night Football mix, a trusted partner with a proven track record of success broadcasting NFL football in primetime, and look forward to expanding with a digital partner for what will be a unique tri-cast on broadcast, cable, and digital platforms."

"Our mission when we first put games on Thursday nights in 2006 was to work strategically to make Thursdays a night for NFL football in the mold of what Monday and Sunday nights mean to millions of fans across the country," said Robert Kraft, Chairman of the NFL's Broadcast Committee. "We've made great strides since that point, and growing the base of games with CBS, now with NBC, and soon with digital streaming will only help us solidify this night in the consciousness of NFL fans here and globally."

"The CBS Corporation and the CBS Television Network are extremely pleased to continue our successful partnership with the NFL on Thursday nights," said Moonves. "Thursday Night Football has provided extremely valuable programming and a powerful promotional platform to help launch CBS's primetime schedule, contributing to our standing as the perennial Number One and most-watched network. Broadcasting the first half of the Thursday Night Football schedule is a terrific way to jump start the 2016-17 television season. We look forward to another great year of the NFL on CBS on both Thursdays and Sundays."

"The NFL has the most powerful programming on television, and we are delighted to expand our primetime schedule to 24 regular season games," said Burke. "Thursday Night Football is an important addition to NBC's #1 ranked primetime lineup, and the perfect complement to our award winning Sunday Night Football broadcast. The NFL is a terrific partner, and we could not be more pleased about expanding our relationship."

Thursday Night Football started in 2006 with an eight game schedule exclusively on NFL Network. By 2012, Thursday Night Football had grown to a 13-game schedule exclusively on NFL Network, where it remained through the 2013 season. For both the 2014 and 2015 seasons, CBS partnered with NFL Network to present an expanded 16-game Thursday Night Football schedule.

For the 16 games of the 2015 schedule, Thursday Night Football on CBS and NFL Network (and over-the-air stations) averaged a 7.9 HH rating and 13.0M viewers, up +59 percent and +61 percent respectively from 2013 when the games were solely on NFL Network. The 2015 season was the most-watched and highest-rated Thursday Night Football season ever.
