Why there's no Thursday Night Football game in the playoffs on January 9, 2025

The NFL playoffs are ALMOST officially here in the NFL, with the teams who made it to the postseason practicing (or, in the case of two of them, taking a week off).

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 9, 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 does include a streaming-only game on Amazon Prime Video on Saturday

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