Because NBC wanted to showcase the best defense in the league

I guess they chose other games for Denver's primetime slots. I think they have 5, and I guess this one was passed over.

why show seattle primetime against the broncos? the world will never know.... There is little chance that Seattle lets the broncos come in to the clink and push them around... seattle will win...

Weren't going to get pushed around by the Chargers last week either.

..but still, this is a Superbowl Rematch. How could this game not be a ratings grab.


I would have thought this was on CBS's end to be honest. But either way, should be a great game.

? The super bowl was awful for everyone but the Hawks. People were changing the channel before half-time. No need for that in a primetime match up

How would it be on CBS' end? The NFL makes the schedule and CBS can't protect matchups until flex scheduling starts.

If the NFL has put it primetime, nothing anyone else can do.


I will say though that as a Broncos fan I prefer Sunday afternoon, can't stand primetime games so I'm okay with it.

The Broncos have 15 players starting today that did not play in the Super Bowl last year.

Casual fans dont know that though. Im just saying if the big game was closer the nfl might have been more inclined to put it in primetime
