Btw why do the Cowboys and Vikings have 2 Thursday night games in a row?

It appears that every team has to play a TNF game even if they play on Thanksgiving, so this would be the most favorable scheduling for those having to play more than once on Thursday night.

But that doesn't explain Indy & Pittsburgh though....hmmmm.

EDIT: No matter how you spin it, Dallas & Minnesota have additional Thursday games this season......and I'll have to look into why that is.

Yeah they totally blew that no call but would've been offsetting penalties from Vikings false start. They still had to convert a 2-pt try from the original spot in that case which was no guarantee. But a higher chance of converting it from there instead of 5 yards back so in that regard they still got screwed over.

Actually the false start would have been the only penalty as it was a pre snap penalty. That play should have never happened. It should have been 2pt conversion try from the 12 yard line.
