Hosted by Football Night In America’s Dan Patrick, the 30-minute NFL Turning Point, co-produced by NFL Films, airs weekly throughout the entire NFL season, including the playoffs and Super Bowl.

This week’s episode features:

  • Cowboys-Saints: NFL Turning Point reviews Drew Brees’ return after missing a game with a rotator cuff injury, and studies his stamina and arm strength. The segment then examines the dramatic conclusion of Sunday night’s game and highlights Brees’ 400th career touchdown pass, which won the game for the Saints on the second play of overtime.
  • Chiefs-Bengals: NFL Films shines a spotlight on QB Andy Dalton and the Bengals undefeated season. Wednesday’s episode will also feature in-game audio from Dalton, who was wired-for-sound during Sunday’s win over the Chiefs.
  • Browns-Chargers: NFL Turning Point analyzes the Chargers’ thrilling win over the Browns. The segment features in-game audio from Chargers head coach Mike McCoy, who was mic’d up during the second chance field goal that won the game for San Diego.

 

In addition, Wednesday night’s Sounds of The Game – Powered by BOSE – segment highlights Broncos LB Von Miller, who was mic’d up as the league’s top-ranked defense helped clinch another victory for Denver.

Each week NFL Turning Point is built around select NFL matchups from the previous weekend, and focuses on the crucial “turning point” moments that ultimately defined the outcome of each game. The show also features anatomy-of-a-play type segments and long-form game-of-the-week style narratives that include pre-game and post-game access, sideline sounds, jaw-dropping cinematography and incredible storytelling that is synonymous with NFL Films.

In 2015 NBCSN will air a total of 21 episodes. The season finale, scheduled to air on Wednesday, February 4, 2016, will look back at the “turning point” of Super Bowl 50.
