It’s easy to see why the Green Bay Packers’ week 8 game against the Kansas City Chiefs earned the coveted Sunday Night Football time slot. Two of the game’s best quarterbacks were set to square off, with the old(er) guard — represented by Aaron Rodgers — facing a new-school signal-caller in Patrick Mahomes.
It should have been ratings gold, at least until Thursday night happened.
In what will surely be a disappointing turn of events for NFL fans and NBC alike, Mahomes suffered a knee injury during the Chiefs’ week 7 win over the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football.
