  1. Mike Tirico and Kurt Warner have both Bears/Lions on December 16th and Steelers/Texans on Christmas.

  2. Kurt Warner is no stranger to analyzing games. Warner has filled in for Boomer Esiason on Westwood One Sports' national radio broadcast of "Monday Night Football" since 2014, in large part because of Esiason's morning radio duties at New York's WFAN-AM & FM. I think Warner will fit in very well with Mike Tirico & Heather Cox on those 2 NFL Network games with Bears/Lions December 16th & Steelers/Texans Christmas Day. I think even though NBC Sports is producing those 2 games with Bears/Lions & Steelers/Texans to wrap up what's technically the "Thursday Night Football" package will be carried only on NFL Network and not necessarily on the NBC stations in these markets.
