Why there’s no Thursday Night Football game in the NFL Divisional playoffs on January 18, 2024

THE NFL PLAYOFFS ARE CONTINUING! WOO! There’s so much to be excited about as we go further on the road to Super Bowl 58.

Except … the postseason action won’t be back until Saturday.

If you’re hoping to see a game on Thursday night on Amazon Prime Video, I’m here to be the bearer of bad news: There’s no Thursday Night Football game on Thursday, January 18, 2024.

Why is that? Good question!

First off, The NFL finished its TNF schedule in Week 17, making sure all 32 teams played on a Thursday during the season. But also, the league doesn’t want teams unfairly getting less rest from playing this past weekend, especially in the postseason. So there will be a couple of games on Saturday and a pair on Sunday.

There you have it! Enjoy the weekend of football starting in a couple of days!
