Whatever free time Steve Kornacki has on Sundays, he is following the New England Patriots and trying to figure out if they have any hope of keeping their postseason streak alive.
That's why it made perfect sense for NBC to make him part of the network's NFL coverage.
Kornacki, the breakout star of MSNBC's election coverage, will continue to be a part of NBC's ''Football Night in America'' after his debut appearance last Sunday. Kornacki will be on for the pregame show and during halftime of Sunday's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills.
