Primetime games features teams with recent playoff history with some degree of star power.

Nor knocking the current Saints squad. But as I posted before only improved performance this year including a playoff run will project to more primetime games in the future. SFIAH |

****, the Saints are a small market team and will remain that way unless they go on a Patriots kind of run. That's just the way it is. Their loss...
