it's no different than a sunday game followed by TNF. [Reply]
As a UK based KC fan this schedule works great as we will get half the Chiefs games guaranteed as they are standalone fixtures and at least 2/3 others such as Bengals week 2 will be picked as the live game.
Can understand some of your frustrations but surprised so few are liking getting a bye week to prepare for the SB rematch. [Reply]

the 4:25 (Eastern) time slot is the highest-rated show on TV. I get the benefit for locals to have games at noon on Sunday but KC is in 4 of those time slots. We are in 11(!) nationally broadcast games. Part of that is being SB champs but part of it is that we have Mahomes as our QB.
I remember the years when KC was so bad that they didn't even sell enough tickets for the games to be broadcast in the home market let alone make it to a national broadcast. Now, KC's games are broadcast nationally 11 out of 17 times. That's 65% of our games.
I saw the poll to see what generation are members of CP. There are a few young whippersnappers on this board. Enjoy this because this kind of success is extremely rare in the NFL. I spent the first few decades of my life hoping KC might just MAKE a SB and here we are with 3 wins in 5 years and realistic chances for a three-peat. [Reply]

I don't miss the pre-Mahomes era, but I do wish most games were Sunday at noon. We can't have it both ways though. The Chiefs are in high demand. [Reply]
I like noon games because my wife wont be awake early enough to want me to do stuff before it and its too late after to start any major honey do's. [Reply]
