NFL's 2020 National Schedule Features Some Good, Some Bad and A Lot of Tom Brady: TRAINA THOUGHTS

1. Random thoughts on the NFL 2020 schedule (if we actually get a regular, normal, full season).

• The most fascinating aspect of the schedule was to see how many times the NFL was gonna throw Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and the Tampa Bay Bucs in primetime

The answer turned out to be five. NBC's Sunday Night Football gets two Bucs games, ESPN's Monday Night Football gets two Bucs games and FOX's Thursday Night Football gets one Bucs game.

My guess is that FOX and CBS fought hard to keep the Bucs on Sundays as much as possible so the networks could slot them in the 4:25 p.
