Technically we played a Friday night game during one of the Vermeil years due to a hurricane coming into Miami, but that wasn't a national TV broadcast so it really wouldn't count in this chart. But it was a Friday night game. [Reply]

KCFX mentioned that again last weekend. I remember that game. A lot of rain. We won. [Reply]

I remember there was a Chiefs/Falcons Thursday night game scheduled for the week the strike started ('82?)
First prime time game we'd had in forever and it gets axed by the strike.
Edit: Found it.
Looks like he might have.

It happens today mostly at the end of the season, especially around Christmas.
