The NFL is the most popular sport in America and one of the world’s most watched professional sports leagues. Over the years, the NFL has seen some of the most incredible plays and players in sports history. Here are some of the most memorable moments in NFL history.
The Eagles and Chiefs meet for a Week 11 Monday night matchup with ramifications across both conferences. With Philadelphia atop the NFC East and Kansas City in first place in the AFC West, this game will be one to watch. The game will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
NBC’s coverage of this matchup will air on both its primary channels, NBC Sports and Peacock. NBC Sports will feature the live pregame show Fantasy Football Pregame with Matthew Berry starting at 12 PM ET. Peacock will feature a special show dedicated to the matchup at 7 PM ET.

FuboTV’s NFL packages start at $50 per month and can be cancelled at any time.
While some of the league’s rules and traditions remain, the NFL has introduced new elements this year. In particular, teams have more freedom to choose whether they want to win the overtime coin toss or to kick off. This change allows teams to tailor their strategies to the game conditions and team strengths.
It has been a wild and crazy first three weeks of 2022 NFL action, including historic comebacks and two undefeated teams. But despite the excitement, the NFL’s average points-per-game total has been lower this year than in 2021. What’s the explanation?
The NFL’s scheduling process is complicated. There are over a quadrillion possible combinations each season, and the league must balance a variety of factors to find the best schedule. It uses high-performance computing workloads on Amazon Web Services to run complex simulations and optimize the schedule. The NFL’s goal is to create a balanced schedule that maximizes competitive fairness and maximizes revenue for the owners. It does this by considering stadium availability, travel requirements, prime-time games, and division rivalries. Each year, the league reaches over 26,000 simulations to ensure the most compelling game matches. In addition, the NFL makes adjustments to the rulebook each year to make sure the game matches are as fair as possible.
