4 teams this season had 0 prime time games: Cardinals, Colts, Falcons and Texans. Colts played an A.M. game in Germany, Falcons played an A.M. game in London, and Cardinals have played both the Sunday 1st slot (1pm/12pm/11am/10am) and Sunday 2nd slot (4-4:30 pm/3-3:30 pm/2-2:30 pm/1-1:30pm).

This Sunday, the Texans had been scheduled for that Sunday 2nd Slot against the Broncos, but it was flexed back to the Sunday 1st Slot. This game is the only game on the Texans schedule that wasn't initially at that Sunday 1st Slot. And unless one of the last 5 games gets flexed, the Texans will have played every game at the Noon time slot.

There is also a very real chance, that if the Texans make it into the playoffs, that they play on Sunday Jan 14th at Noon... The Texans, CJ Stroud, HC DeMeco Ryans all have a very real chance of playing an entire season @Noon on Sundays, unless the make the divisional round.

Will this be the first time an NFL team had this consistent of a game schedule? I know I'm counting my eggs before they hatch, as the Week 18 schedule isn't out but hopefully the NFL sees the gloriousness of this.

As a fan of a team who had mostly noon games up until about 2016/2017 cherish it. Constant afternoon and primetime games low key sucks.

The afternoon game is the worst! I'm on East Coast so it starts at 4:25 ish and just ruins the afternoon/evening. Runs into dinner time and it means I need to get up early to get things done if I want to watch the game. The 1 o'clock or SNF are the best. The 2 youngest still take naps so I try to get them down right before the early game or SNF starts after their bed time.

only two noon games this season sucks. Several primetime games that have no business being there. Packers on SNF why? Rodgers was gone when they made the schedule. Patriots on MNF? did anyone think this was going to be a game anyone wants to watch?

Noon games are the best, wish they'd put some more of the obvious stinkers there.
