An extra nationally broadcast NFL game? Yeah, you can go ahead and sign me up for that immediately.
Is it unfortunate the game was postponed because of coronavirus? Yes. Is it awesome that the game will now air nationally for the whole country? Absolutely.

Think about what else is on TV at 5:00 EST on a Monday. There’s literally nothing that jumps off of the page.
You slap a major NFL game onto the schedule, and men around the country will immediately start paying attention. The NFL might come to find that it’s a really good idea.

We’ll see what Roger Goodell decides on, but giving fans an extra game on TV is going to be a hit among the fans. I have no doubt about that.
