The NFL playoffs continue in the NFL, with the teams who made it to the Divisional round getting ready for the weekend.

But if you're hoping to see a playoff game on Thursday night on Amazon Prime Video, I'm here to be the bearer of bad news: There's no Thursday Night Football game on Thursday, January 16, 2025.

Why is that? Good question!

It wouldn't be fair for some playoff teams to play in a much shorter week, right? So we get some games on Saturday and some on Sunday. That doesn't include a streaming-only game on Amazon Prime Video, if you're wondering.

There you have it! Enjoy the weekend of football starting in a couple of days!
