Every SNF, MNF and TNF appearance since 2002, ranked by team.

Discussion

I pulled every regular-season game from 2002 (when the current 8-division format started) through 2025 and bucketed all 6,223 of them by slot. 24 seasons, every Sunday night, Monday night and Thursday night game counted, by team.

Dallas: 116 primetime games. Jacksonville: 31.

Full table. PT = total primetime appearances (any night window), then the breakdown:

Things that jumped out:

Sunday night is where the class divide actually lives. Dallas has 64 SNF appearances. Washington, same division, same era, same TV market tier: 24. Jacksonville has six. Total. In 24 years.

The Jets have played 29 Monday night games and 11 Sunday nighters. They're a top-20 primetime team almost entirely on the strength of Monday night, which is the slot the league hands you when it wants your market but not your football.

Thursday night is the great equalizer, and that's the joke. Cleveland is 31st in primetime overall but has 16 TNF appearances — more than Dallas (12), Kansas City (12) or Buffalo (12). Everyone gets a Thursday. That's the point of Thursday.

Question: Do you think it's a competitive advantage or disadvantage to have more prime time games? Give your thoughts below!
