Tonights game pits the 1-7 Panthers against the 2-7 Bears. I for one am incredibly excited because I believe TNF is about watching bad football.

​

My favorite TNF game of all time was the WK 14 2013 game pitting an awful Texans squad against my own awful Jaguars. Jaguars would go on to win an incredibly ugly and penalty filled (22 of them) 27-20 with Matt Schaub, Case Keenum, Chad Henne, and MJD putting on a show for a national audience that probably went to bad that night with the same feeling as you would have after going minor league hockey game.

What are some other wonderfully awful TNF Matchups that we can remember?

Cardinals 12, Rams 6 (Dec. 11, 2014) -- The King of Kaka. There's never been another Thursday night game as grotesque and unwatchable as this one. With Carson Palmer injured for the season, Arizona turned to Drew Stanton. Sam Bradford had been lost for the year during the preseason with an ACL tear, which meant Shaun Hill was under center for the Rams. Do we need to keep going? During the game, Stanton was sacked by rookie Aaron Donald, forcing him to also leave with a knee injury.

Third-stringer Ryan Lindley came in relief, going 4-of-10 for 30 yards... in a victory. Arizona overcame five penalties on its first two drives, and cobbled together four field goals from Chandler Catanzaro. Luckily for the Cardinals, the Rams' offense was an abomination. They finished 4-of-15 on third down, had six penalties, and turned the ball over twice. Tre Mason led the Rams in rushing with 33 yards. There's no lower moment in Thursday night history.
