Everything that goes into playing on a Thursday night for an NFL training staff

With the mandate over the last couple of years that all teams are required to play at least one Thursday game (and some teams playing more), advances on how to prepare for those games have come in many forms.

Roughly 100 hours go by if you play a normal Sunday midday game before a team has to play again. That’s crazy to think about when you consider all that goes on into a typical NFL week, let alone an expedited one. Consider taking your weekly job duties and being asked to do that in roughly one-third of the time.
