Report: Saints could end up playing Saturday games in 2020 season

Makes perfect sense, but obviously it will water down the prime time and Sunday marquee game of the week.

Maybe schedule dud teams on Saturdays to increase exposure?

It did say prime time would not be flexed to Saturdays. It will most likely be those secondary market teams like Jax, Carolina, etc. that will end up on Saturday.

I actually like the Saturday game idea. It would be a great opportunity to see teams you usually don't because of the sheer number of Sunday games. With a little scheduling forethought, there could actually be a "marquee" game on Saturday and Sunday each week. It would actually enhance the number of key matchups televised each week.
