I was thinking the same thing. So, I looked up how much they are on Primetime. It's 4 times. One a Thursday night game, which every team has. You know you are going to get one Cowboys Giants game. So, that leaves two more times that they selected. For this team, it's probably too much, but it's not crazy for a New York team.

This doesn't include 3:25 "America's Game of the Week" on Fox, which ALWAYS involves an NFC East team or the Packers (such as Cowboys/Broncos last week), and goes out to the entire country, minus some random AFC West city that's playing at the same time on CBS.

And then there's flex scheduling. A few years ago, NBC opened the season with Giants/Cowboys, and then they flexed Cowboys/Giants week 17 because it had playoff implications.

Last year, the Cowboys played on national television literally every week from Thanksgiving to Christmas. It's ridiculous.
