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.

The 2010 Lions had 15 games start at Noon

The other start time was the traditional 11:30AM CT Thanksgiving start

Weird. Both the Browns and Bills played all their games at 1:00 that year...something that hasn't happened in any of the other years from 2000 - 2022

Detroit got flexed to the Sunday Night game in week 18 last season. They and Green Bay went into Sunday morning with the winner of that game getting the Wild Card but Seattle won eliminating Detroit, who still beat Green Bay, that sent Seattle to the playoffs.
