Get ready for three straight Falcons prime-time games (barring a Week 5 flex)
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Atlanta Falcons, coming off a heavy 34-3 loss to the Panthers, face three consecutive prime time night games over the next three weeks, starting with a Thursday night visit to the Packers.
- Following that, the Falcons will play Monday night against the Saints and then host the Ravens six nights later, all in prime time slots.
- There is a possibility that the Falcons' Week 5 game could be flexed out of prime time due to their 0-2 record and the preference to avoid a third consecutive nationally televised Falcons game.
- Other potential prime time games for Week 5 include 49ers-Seahawks, Bears-Packers, and Vikings-Saints, with the Cowboys-Buccaneers on Thursday night and Bills-Rams on Monday night.
- The NFL will make the final decision on any schedule changes by Tuesday, September 29.
