Special On-Site Edition of Football Night in America Kicks Off at 3 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock with Full Studio Team at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium

STAMFORD, Conn. – Jan. 18, 2023 – Super Bowl LIV Most Valuable Player Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs host 2021 No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Divisional Playoffs from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., this Saturday, Jan. 21, at 4:30 p.m. ET on NBC, Peacock, and Universo. Coverage begins with a special on-site edition of Football Night in America at 3 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock, with the full studio team at Arrowhead.

The Chiefs (14-3) are the AFC’s top seed, winning the AFC West and earning a first-round bye. The AFC South champion Jaguars (10-8) advanced to the Divisional Playoff with the third-largest comeback (27 points) in NFL Playoff history with a thrilling 31-30 victory over the Chargers last Saturday.

The teams met in Week 10, with Kansas City topping Jacksonville, 27-17, at Arrowhead. Mahomes passed for 331 yards and four touchdowns in the win, while Lawrence passed for 259 yards and two touchdowns in his first career game in Kansas City. Since that matchup, the Jaguars have won seven of eight games.

Saturday’s game marks the first postseason meeting between the franchises. This will be Kansas City’s twelfth postseason game since Mahomes took over as starting quarterback in the 2018 season, and Jacksonville’s first time advancing beyond the first round of the postseason since the 2017season.

The Chiefs had a prolific season offensively, leading the league in total yards (7,032) and yards per game (413.6). Mahomes, who earned his second career AP First Team All-Pro selection this year, led the league in passing yards (5,250), touchdowns (41), and passing yards per game (308.8). Tight end Travis Kelce, earning his fourth career AP First Team All-Pro selection, led all NFL tight ends in receiving yards (1,338) and touchdown receptions (12), en route to his seventh consecutive season with 1,000+ receiving yards. Kansas City ended the season on a five-game winning streak that saw Jerick McKinnon earn his first career AFC Offensive Player of the Month award during that stretch, becoming the first running back since 1970 with a touchdown reception in at least five consecutive games (six).

In the Wild Card victory over the Chargers, Lawrence, in his first career Playoff game, threw for 288 yards and four touchdowns, as the Jaguars won their first Playoff game since 2018. Running back Travis Etienne Jr. had 121 total yards (109 rushing, 12 receiving), while tight end Evan Engram and wide receivers Christian Kirk and Zay Jones all recorded 70+ receiving yards and a touchdown.

Mike Tirico will call Jaguars-Chiefs with 17-time Emmy Award winner Cris Collinsworth (analyst) and Melissa Stark (sideline reporter). Three-time Super Bowl referee Terry McAulay will serve as rules analyst.

NBC Sports’ coverage on Saturday is led by coordinating producer Rob Hyland and director Drew Esocoff.

Jacksonville won the AFC South after finishing in last place in 2021. Currently on a five-game winning streak, the Jaguars clinched the division title after defeating the Titans, 20-16, in a comeback victory in Week 18. Lawrence, making his playoff debut, finished fifth in the AFC in passing yards with 4,113 this year, and became the sixth quarterback drafted No. 1 overall since 2000 to reach the postseason in one of his first two career seasons. Defensively, linebacker Foyesade Oluokun led the league in tackles (184). Doug Pederson has joined Mike Holmgren and Pro Football Hall of Famer Bill Parcells as the only head coaches to follow a Super Bowl win by taking another franchise to the playoffs in their first season with that team.

The Chargers reached the playoffs for the first time since 2018 after winning five of their last seven games. Herbert, who will also be making his playoff debut, ranked second in the league with 4,739 passing yards. He became the first player in NFL history with at least 4,500 passing yards in two of his first three seasons. Austin Ekeler led all running backs with a career-high 107 catches and 18 total touchdowns (13 rushing, 5 receiving) this year.

The Chargers hold a 9-4 advantage in the all-time series with the Jaguars winning 38-10 in Week 3 earlier this season. Lawrence passed for 262 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions for a 115.5 passer rating in the Week 3 victory.

Al Michaels and Pro Football Hall of Fame head coach Tony Dungy (analyst) will call Chargers-Jaguars, joined by sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung and three-time Super Bowl referee and rules analyst Terry McAulay.

NBC Sports’ coverage of Los Angeles-Jacksonville is led by executive producer Fred Gaudelli and director Pierre Moossa.

Cincinnati earned its second consecutive AFC North division title and finished the regular season on an eight-game winning streak. Burrow finished the year fifth in the league in passing with 4,475 yards and tied for second in passing touchdowns with 35. Ja’Marr Chase (1,046) and Tee Higgins (1,029) each recorded more than 1,000 receiving yards for an offense that ranked fifth in passing yardage per game (265). The Bengals own a 6-1 home record this season.

Baltimore is in the playoffs for the fourth time in the past five seasons, marking head coach John Harbaugh’s 10th playoff appearance. Led by a defense that allowed the third fewest points per game in the NFL (18.5), the Ravens’ rushing attack ranked second in the league with 160 yards per contest. Andrews finished the year second among AFC tight ends with 847 receiving yards.

The Ravens lead the all-time series, 28-26, after splitting this year’s regular season games. Sunday will mark the first postseason matchup between the rivals.

Mike Tirico will call Ravens-Bengals with 17-time Emmy Award winner Cris Collinsworth (analyst), who spent his eight-year NFL career with the Bengals and finished as the team’s all-time receptions leader, with Melissa Stark (sideline reporter) and McAulay serving as rules analyst.

Coupled with the continued growth of Peacock, we delivered a best-in-class presentation and continued our record-setting 12-year run ranking #1 in primetime.”

AARON RODGERS AND PACKERS CAN CLINCH FINAL NFC PLAYOFF SPOT AGAINST STREAKING DETROIT LIONS ON SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL ON NBC, PEACOCK AND UNIVERSO

Lions Can Clinch Final NFC Playoff Spot with Win vs. Packers and Seattle Loss/Tie or Other Scenarios

Coverage Begins with Football Night in America at 7 p.m. ET; Followed by 8:20 p.m. ET Kickoff

NFL Sundays Begin and End on Peacock with Exclusive Coverage Featuring Fantasy Football Pregame with Matthew Berry at 11 a.m. ET and Peacock Sunday Night Football Final Immediately After Each SNF Game

STAMFORD, Conn. – Jan. 5, 2023 – Two-time reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers look to clinch their fourth consecutive playoff appearance when they host Jared Goff and the NFC North rival Detroit Lions in this week’s edition of NBC’s Sunday Night Football. Coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET with Football Night in America, followed by kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis., on NBC, Peacock and Universo.

Green Bay has won four in a row to improve to 8-8 and position themselves for a win-and-in performance in the season finale. The Packers would secure the final NFC playoff spot with a victory on Sunday night. However, Detroit (8-8) has won seven of its last nine games and can clinch their first postseason berth since 2016 with a win against Green Bay and a Seattle loss/tie (vs. Los Angeles Rams earlier in the day) or other scenarios if the game ends in a tie. This Sunday marks the Lions’ first appearance on Sunday Night Football since Week 3 of the 2018 season, when Detroit defeated New England, 26-10.

Green Bay and Detroit also met in the final game of the 2016 season on SNF, with both teams entering the game at 9-6. The Packers won, 31-24, clinching the division and the No. 4 seed, while the Lions secured the No. 6 seed. Both Rodgers and Goff have had regular-season success in December and January. In their careers, Rodgers is 48-16 with 124 touchdown passes vs. only 28 interceptions, while Goff is 18-14 with 54 touchdowns vs. 23 interceptions. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is 18-1 in December and January regular-season games since taking over in 2019.

In Green Bay’s 41-17 win over Minnesota last Sunday, Rodgers threw for 159 yards and a touchdown and also added a score on the ground. Running back Aaron Jones ran for 111 yards and has rushed for at least 1,000 yards (1,073 this season) in three of the last four seasons.

Detroit kept their playoff hopes alive with Sunday’s 41-10 win against the division rival Chicago Bears. Goff threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns while the running back duo of D’Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams combined for three touchdowns and 274 total yards; the latter currently leads the NFL in rushing touchdowns (15). On the defensive side, lineman and 2022 No. 2 overall pick Aidan Hutchinson and linebacker James Houston became the first pair of rookie teammates each with at least seven sacks since 1982, when the individual sack became an official statistic.

Calling Lions-Packers is Mike Tirico (play-by-play); 17-time Emmy Award winner Cris Collinsworth (analyst); and Melissa Stark (sideline reporter). Three-time Super Bowl referee Terry McAulay is the Sunday Night Football rules analyst.

NOTES & QUOTES FROM WEEK 17 EDITION OF FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA ON NBC AND PEACOCK

By

“Rodgers, in Lambeau, with the playoffs on the line? I think he might be okay.” – Tony Dungy on Week 18 Lions-Packers matchup with playoff implications

“Brady wins the division. Rodgers sets up a win and in. Wow.” – Jason Garrett on crucial victories by Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers today

“I believe in their defense. They get after the quarterback. Matthew Judon should have Defensive Player of the Year consideration, but I can’t trust that offense.” – Rodney Harrison on the Patriots

“It happened during the game, no one knew about it until the next day, and that may prompt some discussion in the offseason about potential changes to the protocol.” – Mike Florio on Tua Tagovailoa’s Week 16 concussion

Peacock Sunday Night Football Final Streams EXCLUSIVELY on Peacock Following Every Sunday Night Football Game During 2022 Season

STAMFORD, Conn. – Jan. 1, 2023 – NBC Sports’ presentation of Week 17 of the 2022 NFL season continued tonight from M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Md., with Football Night in America leading into coverage of the Baltimore Ravens hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football on NBC, Peacock and Universo.

Maria Taylor hosted FNIA from NBC Sports’ Studio 1 in Stamford, Conn. She was joined by Hall of Fame head coach Tony Dungy, former NFL head coach Jason Garrett, former NFL quarterback Chris Simms, fantasy sports industry pioneer Matthew Berry. NFL Insider Mike Florio reported from his home studio. Steve Kornacki was also in the studio to break down playoff scenarios. Two-time Super Bowl winner Rodney Harrison joined co-host Jac Collinsworth at the site of the game.

Mike Tirico (play-by-play), Cris Collinsworth (analyst), Melissa Stark (sideline reporter) and Terry McAulay (rules analyst) are calling tonight’s game. Tirico also reported from the field during FNIA.

***

Following are highlights from tonight’s edition of Football Night in America on NBC and Peacock:

ON RAVENS-STEELERS RIVALRY

Dungy: “Physical, physical football. NFL teams get 14 padded practices. No one practices in pads in December. Mike Tomlin saved his 14th practice for Friday of ‘Ravens Week’ because it’s going to be physical.”

Garrett: “One of the best rivalries in all of football. Two of the best franchises in all of football. They have elite ownership — supportive, stable — elite personnel departments and elite head coaches in John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin. They faced each other 32 times in the course of their careers and every one of these games is a bloodbath. It’s tough, it’s physical, and this game is not going to be any different tonight.”

ON STEELERS

Harrison on defensive tackle Cameron Heyward: “33 years old, 12 years in the league, he’s an absolute stud. He’s playing on an All-Pro level. He’s going to have to have a big game tonight in the run game, not just the pass game, but pushing that pocket.”

Dungy on Steelers rookie QB Kenny Pickett: “I saw Mike Tomlin at the Indianapolis Monday night game and he told me he is loving Kenny Pickett’s decision-making and he’s getting more and more comfortable putting the ball in his hands.”

Harrison on Steelers rookie WR George Pickens: “I think this young man is the steal of the draft. He reminds me of one of my teammates — Hall of Famer Randy Moss — because he’s big, he’s long, and he makes a lot of big plays.”

Harrison: “Minkah Fitzpatrick is the best free safety in all of football. What I love about him is his versatility and I love the way they’re playing him.”

ON RAVENS

Harrison on Ravens LB Roquan Smith: “Games like this, you want your best defensive player to step up, and for the Ravens it’s Roquan Smith. He was the missing piece on this defense, and he’s got tremendous instincts. He’s smart, and one thing we know about him, he can go from sideline to sideline.”

Garrett on the Ravens’ offense: “In an era where everybody wants to throw the ball and get out into space, Greg Roman, the offensive coordinator for the Ravens, he wants to run a ‘Medieval Offense.’ A lot of big people in the game, they pull the guards, they pull the tackles, they hammer the line of scrimmage. That’s what we’re going to see tonight.”

Harrison on Ravens TE Mark Andrews: “They can’t forget about their tight end. He’s their best player…not many safeties, not many linebackers can guard this guy.”

Harrison on Ravens 300-pound-plus FB Patrick Ricard: “This is the biggest skill guy that I’ve ever seen in an NFL uniform. He is huge.”

ON EAGLES

Dungy on QB Jalen Hurts’ impact on the team: “He makes great throws and he’s a great runner, but even more than that, when he’s in there, there’s only certain things you can do on defense. There are coverages you can’t play. He helps the run game. He is very, very valuable.”

Garrett: “His impact is pervasive throughout the team. The running game is better because he runs it, but they also have the threat of his running. The defense is better. The time of possession, they’re among the best in the league. New Orleans had the ball for over 37 minutes today. He makes a big difference.”

ON 49ERS

Simms on 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey: “That’s why they traded for this guy. He had a huge day, and he is the focal point of their offense right now.”

ON BUCCANEERS

Dungy on the Buccaneers’ NFC South-clinching victory over the Panthers: “This is the formula that they rode to the Super Bowl. Good defense, getting big plays, and the passing game being explosive…Mike Evans can still get the deep ball and Tom Brady can still throw the deep ball.”

Simms on the Buccaneers’ defense: “That’s one of the things we’re seeing from Todd Bowles’ defense down the stretch. They’re getting healthy in the secondary and upfront…We know they got Brady, but the defense is going well, too.”

Florio on speaking to Buccaneers P Jake Camarda about his on-the-move punt to save a broken play at the end of the game: “On that play, that’s something he did from time to time in college, the rugby punt that we see at the college level from time to time. So, he was experienced at making that kick on the move.”

ON PACKERS

Kornacki on the Packers’ playoff chances: “The only team (of Seattle, Detroit, and Green Bay) with a clear path, believe it or not, is Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.”

Dungy on the Lions-Packers game next week to determine the final NFC playoff spot: “Rodgers, in Lambeau, with the playoffs on the line? I think he might be okay.”

Simms on the Packers’ win over the Vikings: “That was just a total team performance. The run game, they returned a kick for a touchdown, the defense. It’s funny, ever since they got their backs against the wall, they’ve played their best football.”

Garrett on facing Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs: “I still have some scars, but you don’t want to play Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in the playoffs. We lost to them twice in the Divisional Round. If they get hot, I’m telling you, you don’t want them.”

Dungy: “Green Bay’s secondary was outstanding today…on fire.”

Garrett on Tom Brady’s and Aaron Rodgers’ victories today: “Brady wins the division. Rodgers sets up a win and in. Wow.”

ON CHARGERS

Garrett: “Does anyone in the NFL find the end zone better than Austin Ekeler? He was fantastic today.”

ON DOLPHINS

Dungy: “Their offense is quarterback driven and they’re not getting good quarterback play. Teddy Bridgewater got hurt today. The Dolphins are in trouble.”

Garrett on the Dolphins’ five-game losing streak: “They haven’t been balanced. They haven’t run the ball enough, and when you get to the end of the season, these cold weather games, you need to be a more balanced team. Then when you lose your quarterback, Tua (Tagovailoa), everything starts to fall apart. They have not been the same team this past month.”

Florio on Dolphins QBs Teddy Bridgewater and Tua Tagovailoa: “It’s believed that Teddy Bridgewater has a broken finger on his right hand, his throwing hand. Tua Tagovailoa, (is) in the concussion protocol. It’s not believed he’ll be ready to go next week but that’s in the hands of the doctors, so it would be Skylar Thompson. On that Tua Tagovailoa concussion, it happened during the game, no one knew about it until the next day, and that may prompt some discussion in the offseason about potential changes to the protocol.”

ON PATRIOTS

Harrison: “I believe in their defense. They get after the quarterback. Matthew Judon should have Defensive Player of the Year consideration, but I can’t trust that offense. Mac Jones looks frustrated. He looks unhappy. I don’t trust that offense.”

Simms: “This Patriots defense has been making a lot of big plays as of late, helping a struggling offense.”

ON COMMANDERS

Dungy on the Commanders starting Carson Wentz: “This seemed like a desperation move and it just didn’t pay off.”

Simms: “They kind of got beat at their own game today. Cleveland ran the football. Cleveland’s defense made the plays. We saw Washington do that through their win streak, but it did seem a little bit like a desperate move to go to Wentz in this situation.”

ON RAIDERS

Simms on QB Jarrett Stidham: “He played great today. He really did a great job. Week 17 against that (49ers) defense, that was impressive.”

ON BRONCOS

Florio: “The Broncos want a coach with head coaching experience, and I’m told in recent days they have reached out to Michigan coach and former 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh to let him know that they’re interested in talking to him…His buyout is only $3 million to get out of the Michigan contract and he knows Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson very well from their time competing against each other in the same division (2012-2014).”

PITTSBURGH STEELERS LOOK TO KEEP PLAYOFF HOPES ALIVE AGAINST DIVISION RIVAL BALTIMORE RAVENS ON SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL ON NBC, PEACOCK AND UNIVERSO

By

Coverage Begins with Football Night in America at 7 p.m. ET; Followed by 8:20 p.m. ET Kickoff

Steve Kornacki Breaks Down NFL Playoff Picture on FNIA

NFL Sundays Begin and End on Peacock with Exclusive Coverage Featuring Fantasy Football Pregame with Matthew Berry at 11 a.m. ET and Peacock Sunday Night Football Final Immediately After Each SNF Game

STAMFORD, Conn. – Dec. 28, 2022 – Rookie Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers look to keep their playoff hopes alive when they visit Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews and the AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens on this week’s edition of NBC’s Sunday Night Football. Coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET with Football Night in America, followed by kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET from M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Md., on NBC, Peacock and Universo.

Pittsburgh (7-8) remains in the AFC Wild Card race following its come-from-behind 13-10 win against the Las Vegas Raiders last Saturday. The Steelers are one game behind the Miami Dolphins and need a victory against the Ravens on SNF to stay in contention. The Ravens (10-5) clinched a playoff berth following their 17-9 win against the Atlanta Falcons last Saturday and are only a game behind the AFC North-leading Cincinnati Bengals (11-4), who they face in Week 18.

This Sunday is the 10th Steelers-Ravens game on NBC’s Sunday Night Football – marking the most played AFC matchup on SNF since NBC Sports began with the package in the 2006 season (includes NFL Kickoff and Thanksgiving night games, which are part of the SNF package). Pittsburgh holds a 32-25 advantage in the all-time series (including the postseason) versus Baltimore. The past five, and 12 of the last 15, matchups between the rivals have been decided by one score.

In Pittsburgh’s win last Saturday, Pickett threw for 244 yards and the game-winning touchdown to wide receiver George Pickens with 46 seconds remaining. Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick added an interception and is tied for second in the league with five this season.

The Ravens improved their 2022 home record to 5-2 in last Saturday’s victory. Baltimore ran for 184 yards, led by running back Gus Edwards’ season-high 99 yards. Quarterback Tyler Huntley added a touchdown pass. Andrews is second among AFC tight ends with 747 receiving yards on 64 catches.

Calling Steelers-Ravens is Mike Tirico (play-by-play); 17-time Emmy Award winner Cris Collinsworth (analyst); and Melissa Stark (sideline reporter). Three-time Super Bowl referee Terry McAulay is the Sunday Night Football rules analyst.

NBC’s coverage of Sunday Night Football is led by executive producer Rob Hyland and director Drew Esocoff. SNF has won a record 11 Sports Emmys for Outstanding Live Sports Series.

Football Night in America features host Maria Taylor, Hall of Fame head coach Tony Dungy, former NFL head coach of the Cowboys Jason Garrett, former NFL quarterback Chris Simms, NFL Insider Mike Florio, who will contribute remotely from his home studio, and fantasy sports industry pioneer Matthew Berry. Steve Kornacki, NBC News’ celebrated national political correspondent, joins FNIA for the remainder of the season to analyze NFL Playoff probabilities. Co-host Jac Collinsworth and two-time Super Bowl champion Rodney Harrison will provide reports at the site of the game.

TOM BRADY AND BUCCANEERS VISIT DEANDRE HOPKINS AND ARIZONA CARDINALS ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT EDITION OF SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL ON NBC, PEACOCK AND UNIVERSO

Steve Kornacki Breaks Down NFL Playoff Picture on FNIA

Special Two-Hour Live Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on Friday at Noon E.T. on the NBC Sports on Peacock Virtual Channel; Also Presented Saturday at 9 a.m. ET and 11 a.m. ET

STAMFORD, Conn. – Dec. 20, 2022 – Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit DeAndre Hopkins and the Arizona Cardinals on a Christmas night edition of NBC’s Sunday Night Football. Coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET with Football Night in America, followed by kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., on NBC, Peacock and Universo.

This will be only the 14th regular-season Christmas night game in NFL history and the first on NBC since the 2016 season. It will be the Cardinals’ fourth Christmas night game in franchise history; they will become only the second NFL team to play Christmas night games in consecutive seasons (Pittsburgh Steelers, 2016-2017). Arizona played the Indianapolis Colts last year. It will be the Buccaneers’ first-ever Christmas game.

With three games remaining, the Buccaneers sit atop the NFC South by one game over the three other teams in the division and currently hold the fourth postseason spot in the NFC. The Buccaneers fell to the Cincinnati Bengals, 34-23, on Sunday. Brady currently ranks third in the NFL in passing yards (3,897) and passing yards per game (278.4). With a win on Sunday night, he would break a tie with Aaron Rodgers for most wins by a quarterback (23) on Sunday Night Football since the show debuted during the 2006 NFL season.

The Cardinals fell to the Broncos, 24-15, in Week 15. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had 60 yards on seven receptions; in eight games played this season, Hopkins has had seven or more receptions in all but two of them. Running back James Conner had 91 total yards (63 rushing, 28 receiving) and a touchdown, his fifth consecutive game with a score.

The Cardinals hold an 11-10 advantage in the all-time series versus the Buccaneers. This will be their first matchup since the 2019 season, and Brady’s first matchup against Cardinals head coach and former teammate Kliff Kingsbury, both of whom were quarterbacks on the Super Bowl XXXVIII-winning Patriots team. Brady has also played in two Super Bowls at State Farm Stadium during his career, winning Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 and losing Super Bowl XLII in 2008.

Calling Buccaneers-Cardinals is Mike Tirico (play-by-play); 17-time Emmy Award winner Cris Collinsworth (analyst); and Melissa Stark (sideline reporter). Three-time Super Bowl referee Terry McAulay is the Sunday Night Football rules analyst.

NBC’s coverage of Sunday Night Football is led by executive producer Rob Hyland and director Drew Esocoff. SNF has won a record 11 Sports Emmys for Outstanding Live Sports Series.

STAMFORD, Conn. – Dec. 14, 2022 – In a critical NFC East matchup impacting playoff contention, Daniel Jones and the New York Giants (7-5-1) visit Taylor Heinicke and the Washington Commanders (7-5-1) on this week’s edition of NBC’s Sunday Night Football.

The Commanders had a Week 14 bye. Heinicke threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns in the prior matchup, while wide receiver Terry McLaurin had 105 receiving yards and a score on eight receptions. McLaurin is one of only six players in NFL history with at least 50 receptions and 900 receiving yards in each of his first four seasons. After starting the season 1-4, Washington is 6-2-1 since Week 6.

The Giants are 0-3-1 in their last four games and fell to the Philadelphia Eagles, 48-22, on Sunday. Jones threw for 169 yards and a touchdown and added 26 yards and another score on the ground. Wide receiver Richie James had 61 yards and a touchdown on seven receptions. Running back Saquon Barkley, amid a resurgent season, ranks in the top five in the NFL in rushing yards (1,083) and rushing yards per game (83.3).

The Giants hold a 105-71-5 advantage in the all-time series versus the Commanders (including the postseason) and tied the most recent meeting, 20-20, in Week 13.

NOTES & QUOTES FROM WEEK 14 EDITION OF FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA ON NBC AND PEACOCK

By

“If I’m the Chargers tonight, I’m playing pass every time. I don’t care if they hand the ball off.” – Tony Dungy on Dolphins’ prolific passing offense

“This is the type of guy you need if you want to change the culture of your locker room. I love me some Christian Wilkins.” – Rodney Harrison on Dolphins DT Christian Wilkins

“What I love most about them now though is they have a championship mentality.” – Jason Garrett on the Eagles

“They’re hard to defend and they make you defend the whole field. That’s what good offenses do.” – Chris Simms on the Lions’ offense

“Brock Purdy, Mr. Irrelevant turned superstar.” – Maria Taylor

Peacock Sunday Night Football Final Streams EXCLUSIVELY on Peacock Following Every Sunday Night Football Game During 2022 Season

STAMFORD, Conn. – Dec. 11, 2022 – NBC Sports’ presentation of Week 14 of the 2022 NFL season continued tonight from SoFi Stadium in Hollywood Park, Calif., with Football Night in America leading into coverage of Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins visiting Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football on NBC, Peacock and Universo.

Maria Taylor hosted FNIA from NBC Sports’ Studio 1 in Stamford, Conn. She was joined by Hall of Fame head coach Tony Dungy, former NFL head coach Jason Garrett, former NFL quarterback Chris Simms, and fantasy sports industry pioneer Matthew Berry. Steve Kornacki was also in the studio to break down playoff scenarios. Two-time Super Bowl winner Rodney Harrison joined co-host Jac Collinsworth at the site of the game. NFL Insider Mike Florio provided reports from his home studio.

Mike Tirico (play-by-play), Cris Collinsworth (analyst), Melissa Stark (sideline reporter) and Terry McAulay (rules analyst) are calling tonight’s game. Tirico also reported from the field during FNIA.

***

Following are highlights from tonight’s edition of Football Night in America on NBC and Peacock:

ON DOLPHINS

Harrison on DT Christian Wilkins: “The thing that really separates him is his passion for the game, how hard he plays. This guy is 6-4, 315 pounds and he’s making plays 30 yards down the field. This is the type of guy you need if you want to change the culture of your locker room. I love me some Christian Wilkins.”

Garrett on how to slow the Dolphins’ offense: “If you’re going to play zone against them, the coaching point is ‘slow until you know.’ Make them run it, make them hand the ball off. If you’re a linebacker, get your depth and react to the run. You’ve got to limit the big plays with these guys.”

Dungy on Dolphins’ prolific passing game: “If I’m the Chargers tonight, I’m playing pass every time. I don’t care if they hand the ball off.”

Jac Collinsworth: “I talked to (tight end) Durham Smythe. He says he’s never played for a coach like Mike McDaniel. He doesn’t use fear and intimidation. He uses connection and humor. They can’t wait to go to work and play for this guy.”

ON CHARGERS

Garrett on Chargers QB Justin Herbert: “I don’t think there’s a player in the NFL that has more pressure on them to be spectacular every week in order for his team to win than Justin Herbert. They don’t play great defense, they don’t run it very well, they don’t protect very well, and his receivers have been in and out of the lineup.”

Garrett on the Chargers’ offense: “The one thing I’d love to see them do is build in some quick options. Have a route in your progression that says, ‘I can get the ball out versus the pressure right now.’ It takes a lot of that indecision out of it.”

Jac Collinsworth: “That Chargers offensive line, they were getting worked over last week. They’re in for a fight tonight.”

ON EAGLES

Taylor on the Eagles: “The Eagles have consistently been great, on and off the field. You can see the chemistry that the team has and every single time they show up on Sunday. They know that they’re 12-1, the best team in the NFL right now.”

Dungy: “What I like about them is they’re doing it in all areas. They’re scoring points, they’re moving the ball, but that defense is applying pressure, getting sacks, getting takeaways. They played a complete game, and they might be the best team in football.”

Garrett: “The best teams are able to win in different ways. Philadelphia has shown us that all year long. What I love most about them now though is they have a championship mentality.”

ON 49ERS

Taylor: “Brock Purdy, Mr. Irrelevant turned superstar.”

Dungy: “Purdy played exceptionally well. That’s what we were looking to see, how would he handle the pressure? He did it really well.”

Garrett on Purdy: “For his first start, poise and composure off the charts.”

Taylor: “So you’re saying he played Purdy good.” (laughs)

Simms on Purdy: “The guy is making big-time decisions from within the pocket…The movement is something he brings to this 49ers offense that’s better than Jimmy Garoppolo.”

Garrett on the 49ers’ defense: “They’re the best defense in the league.”

ON BILLS

Harrison on the Bills’ defense: “These guys didn’t pout because of Von Miller’s injury…This Buffalo team has struggled, but this defense is still really good.”

Dungy: “What I liked today, everybody was thinking, ‘Without Von Miller, where is the pressure going to come from?’ But all of these other defensive linemen stepped up and they got great pressure.”

ON JETS

Dungy on Jets’ offsides on Bills’ fourth-and-one play: “They’re not going to run a play!”

Dungy on the Bills’ defense against Jets QB Mike White: “This was really the story of the game. We saw this over and over and over again. Mike White getting hit by that Buffalo pass rush.”

Dungy on the Jets’ playoff chances: “I like the Jets still and I like Robert Saleh’s confidence. They’ve got two home games coming up, Detroit and Jacksonville, who both played well today, but I do like that attitude in New York.”

Garrett: “Defense travels this time of year. Weather can be tough. This defense has been consistently good all year long. They make it tough on opposing offenses. I like the Jets.”

Click here for Steve Kornacki’s break down of the Jets’ playoff chances.

ON RAVENS

Garrett on the Ravens’ running game: “This is the Ravens’ DNA since their inception as a franchise. They run the ball, they’re physical, they’re tough. We saw a lot of that today in their win over Pittsburgh.”

ON TITANS

Garrett on the Titans’ loss to the Jaguars: “Uncharacteristic turnovers…They typically don’t turn the ball over. They play great defense, they run the ball, they do all the things winning teams do. They didn’t do that today.”

Simms on the Titans’ defensive line issues: “To me, the biggest thing is the defensive line is not as dominant. I don’t see anybody around the quarterback the last few weeks and they’ve been letting up some huge plays in the pass game.”

ON LIONS

Dungy: “They are hot and fired up.”

Simms on the Lions’ offense: “Jared Goff is having the best year of his career. They find ways to get aggressive passes down the field every week…They’ve got talent and speed on the outside and then they’ve got a creative, physical running game to go along with it…They’re hard to defend and they make you defend the whole field. That’s what good offenses do.”

Kornacki on the Lions’ playoff chances: “It’s still unlikely, but it’s more than twice as likely as we entered the day that the Lions will end up in the playoffs…The last four years, at least one team that was 6-7 ended up making the playoffs.”

ON JAGUARS

Simms: “Trevor Lawrence was phenomenal for the second time in three weeks, throwing dimes all over the field.”

Simms on TE Evan Engram: “He’s becoming one of the best pass-catching tight ends in football.”

ON PANTHERS

Simms on the Panthers: “Between (Sam Darnold) being efficient and their run game being dominant now, they’re getting good here. They’re competing in the NFC South.”
