For years the Lions couldn’t sniff nationally televised primetime games because they had to earn it with a winning record the previous season in order to get considered. How is it the 5-12 Commanders will play their 3rd primetime game of the season tonight? Btw, they aren’t any better this year at 2-5-1.
I think they try to give every team a primetime game a year. Since there are 18 weeks, 3 primetime games a week - that’s 54 games a year (- 1 for no Monday at the end of the year, but they sometimes do the double Mondays). So there is over 100 opportunities for a team to get a prime time game - not a big deal.
They probably were banking on Daniels staying healthy and becoming a star again like he was a couple years ago.

Hey I’m still alive in the den survivor league 
Please don’t bet any money on anything I say. I just don’t think the Giants are actually good.

BigWillieStyle was a cameraman for one of the networks. An old poster I’m sure some remember. I recall him saying the league loved the NFC East because of ratings.
