Overview
- The tripleheader features Cowboys–Commanders and Lions–Vikings on Netflix (1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. ET) and Broncos–Chiefs on Prime Video (8:20 p.m. ET).
- The Commanders and Vikings are eliminated, the Cowboys’ playoff probability has fallen to roughly 1%, and the Chiefs are out with Patrick Mahomes sidelined by a season-ending ACL tear.
- Detroit still has meaningful stakes in the NFC race, and Denver remains in contention for a top AFC seed, giving the latter two games some competitive relevance.
- Netflix is deploying a high-profile crew headlined by Ian and Noah Eagle, with contributions from Scott Hanson, Nate Burleson, Matt Ryan and Drew Brees, while Prime Video uses its full Thursday Night Football team.
- The weakened matchups highlight the risk of locking in holiday windows months ahead as the NFL pushes deeper into streaming-centric showcase dates.
