Thursday Night Football

Not that anyone had doubts, but Patrick Mahomes proved that he's still on top of the game when he led the Kansas City Chiefs to a dominant Week 1 victory ...

Mahomes and the Chiefs have a chance to get even better against the Chargers tonight, with LA having also claimed a Week 1 victory. Each game is available live and on-demand. The game between the Chargers vs. ‘How can I make myself better so we can go out there and win football games?’” The quarterback put up gigantic numbers, throwing for 360 yards on 30/39 passing, with five touchdown passes and zero interceptions. For me, it's all about, ‘How can I make myself better?’ Not what other people say.

So dismissed was it that ABC, a distance third among the “Big Three” television networks, won the rights to televise Monday Night Football (MNF) starting in ...

That Amazon is “televising” its games with ESPN’s Herbstreit and network television legend Al Michaels is just more evidence of how little the past or present of business predicts the future. That they passed on what proved so consequential is a reminder that “market power” in business brings new meaning to ephemeral. Blockbuster Video was viewed as so powerful as recently as 2005 that the FTC The simple truth is that while markets may not be totally efficient, it’s a known quantity that we never run into a stray $20 bill on the street simply because what’s valuable (even in 2022 dollars) is snapped up near instantaneously. In 2006, a rather dominant ESPN acquired the broadcast rights to Monday Night Football. Better yet, one hopes they use MNF in total as a “teaching moment” that will wake them up to the folly of their stances. Two of the Big Three networks and the makers of Budweiser missed, and did so in a blundering way. Which is why one hopes politicians and pundits eager to use government force to neuter Big Tech are made aware of Amazon and the NFL. That it’s so enormous is all that readers need to know in trying to understand what Jeff Bezos and his courageous team of commercial outsiders accomplished. You see, it wasn’t just the leading networks that scoffed at “Monday Night Football,” it was also the top beer brand. The problem for Anheuser-Busch was that its executives looked on Monday NFL games as haughtily as executives at the Tiffany Network (CBS) did. For one, how easily we forget that the very notion of NFL football taking place on any day but Sunday was once ridiculed.

5:15 p.m. - Time: 8:15 p.m. The Chargers and Chiefs will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET, 7:15 p.m. -- On fourth down, the Chargers bring out the offense and convert on fourth-and-inches. -- The Chargers are getting a lot of pressure on Mahomes, but an interception is wiped out by illegal contact to bring the Chiefs up to the Chargers 34. -- Mahomes finds Kelce over the middle of the field, and Kelce steps out of a tackle from JC Jackson to get a nine-yard gain and a first down for the Chiefs. Big stop, and the Chiefs punt down to the Chargers 10 where Carter steps out of a tackle and gets to his own 23. One has to think the Chargers will be happy to take it to the half with the lead on the other side of the break. Mahomes completes a big pass to Kelce to get down to the Chargers 4-yard line, and Kelce gets body-slammed and the ball pops out. On third down, the Chiefs run a shovel pass and get down to the goal line to end the third quarter, and it'll be fourth down on the other side. -- The Chargers pick up a first down and clear the 50 in the process.

The "Thursday Night Football" debut will be a historic event as major sports rights packages move from traditional TV over to the streaming arena.

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs held off Justin Herbert and the Chargers 27-24 on Thursday Night Football to improve to 2-0 on the season.

Mahomes had a few potential interceptions dropped, but he ultimately was in total control for most of the night. He has quickly silenced those doubters, spreading the ball out to a number of different weapons. The good news is that they have a long week before they face the Jaguars on Sept. Leading 17-7 midway through the third quarter, the Chargers allowed 20 unanswered points before a garbage time score. A seventh-round rookie, Watson was one of the Chiefs’ best players in the secondary all night. At this point, the score was tied at 17 and the Chargers were driving.

The first "Thursday Night Football" regular-season game on Amazon Prime Video didn't disappoint, with the Chiefs rallying past the visiting Chargers.

Williams was a mismatch for Chiefs cornerbacks for most of the game. Herbert returned but he was visibly bothered by the big hit. The most ever by a visiting player at Arrowhead Stadium. Jackson, who was out of position, for a 41-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. "For the defense to keep us around, it's a big, big step I think in the right direction." The Chargers played without WR Keenan Allen (hamstring). That served as Kansas City’s longest passing play of the night. The pick six gave the Chiefs their first lead of the game and they didn’t relinquish it. The Chargers defense didn’t make it easy for Kansas City’s offense. Nine different players caught passes from Mahomes for the second straight week. “The ball just ended up in my chest and I took it home. Herbert didn’t make many bad throws on Thursday night, but he made a terrible decision at the goal line.
