Why do divisional round games take place in primetime at 3:00 and 6:40 Eastern? Well, it wasn’t always like that. The NFL was content with playing games at 1:00 and 4:30, or some time around there, for over half a century. And then, prior to the 2016 divisional round game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs, an ice storm changed everything, and changed the playoff schedule as we know it

Kinda wish SBXII’s pregame extravaganza didn’t happen honestly
Funny thing is here in Rochester, just an hour east from Buffalo, we got, relatively speaking, just a light dusting of snow. That’s western NY weather for you
Also, never underestimate the devotion of Bills fans lol
sunday night is just a good time to watch football. i watch every game all year long but i hardly ever watch noon games the chiefs aren't a part of. sunday during the day is a good time to get stuff done but its cold at night, best to stay in and watch football.
7:25 Super Bowl XII: The Boys vs. Orange Crush
Cowboys fans after the game: "We crushed their oranges"
Buffalo should have been forced to forfeit not like they will ever win anything 😂
Whats with the Steelers And January 15 with all these stories
With Wild Card Weekend falling the weekend BEFORE MLK Jr Weekend next year, I wonder how that will affect scheduling. Will they go back to 3 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday (like 2020/21)? My guess is that they'll do 2-3-1 again, although I feel like the Monday night game should be in Central or Eastern time zone, since 5 or 6 PM is too early of a weeknight start time for a playoff game in my opinion.
It will be interesting going forward since the College Football National Championship Game also looks to be slated for MLK Jr. Day for the foreseeable future, and ESPN will be televising that game as well.
In that Chiefs-Broncos game that went to OT, the Chiefs trailed by 8 late in the 4th quarter, but scored the game tying TD and 2-pt conversion with only 12 seconds to go (and it was slightly controversial). In OT, Denver missed a 62 yard FG late, giving KC favorable field position, which led to their GW FG.
Both teams that won the Monday game this year lost the following week. Last year the Cowboys won on Monday, then lost. 2 years ago, the Rams won on Monday, then won the following week on the way to the Super Bowl championship. So Monday winners are 1-3. The Bills aren't going to use that as an excuse, but they did lose a close one at home with a 2 day rest disadvantage.
As someone whos dealt with ice storms, even if you are essential, stay home when the roads are icy. Your employer wont replace your car if you get in a wreck and $100 or $200 bucks in wages isnt worth a new car. If your boss has a problem with it, its a lot easier to find a new job with transportation than it is to find work within walking distance
Its western new york,not upstate new york. Just ask any of us that live here. 😁
You could also talk about the 1989/1990 NFL Championship games on January 14, 1990. The Denver Broncos were forced to play the Cleveland Browns at 10:30 am local time because the San Francisco 49ers were hosting the Los Angeles Rams and the NFL didn't play the playoffs in prime time at that time.
NFL Wild Card games get more ratings than almost all World Series games nowadays. I wonder if MLB will ever do a weekday (late) afternoon game again? Especially after this.
Also with the ratings alot of people were snowed in their homes on that Monday. I'm not gonna lie I was not going out of my way to watch the Bills vs Steelers. But weather allowed me to watch some of it
I still think it was switched because NBC wanted this game on primetime. Also put the Steelers at a disadvantage with less time to.prepare for the patriots the next week. This was the last playoff game Mike Tomlin won. Guy should have been fired the next season after getting smoked by the jags at home in playoffs.
I attended both the Buffalo & KC playoff games. Cool to see these featured. Thanks for highlighting even though Steelers lost this year.
Drove to both games from Maryland. Arrived in KC near midnight Friday. Cars were sliding off the road. We made it to our hotel just in time. That was surreal.
“The breath of God produces ice, and the broad waters become frozen. He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters his lightning through them. At His direction they swirl around over the face of the whole earth to do whatever He commands them. He brings the clouds to punish men, or to water His earth and show His love.” Job 37:10-13 NIV
3 games in one day is too much. This was 2 games Sunday, one game Monday. Makes sense that it did well.
Deserts get rain, it doesn't get hot in the winters in Canada. Something rare is very much different than something impossible.
Bro you have GOT to learn how to say "Super Bowl". You say it like srrrble, or like it rhymes with gerbil. It's 3 syllables.
Your point about the team that plays on Saturday’s has an advantage makes no sense because it initially had a disadvantage because they had to play on a short week compared to other teams that got 24+ hours to recooperate from end of season last week.
