Does anyone recall when the December Saturday games became exclusive to one network? I faintly remember NFL Network starting this trend recently but is interesting the coverage has now carried over to the broadcast networks.

I was looking online through previous seasons going from 1990 – 2005 and prior to the NFL Network carrying all of the December Saturday games, I don’t recall when they became exclusive to one network either.

I would of like to have FOX show AFC game now in an era of cross-flexing which I fully support to improve coverage.

The issue Dan is that Fox for the most part is not interested in showing AFC vs AFC games. Granted, they did show the Steelers @ Ravens last year. However, that was on a Saturday. You will find out if you get your wish in less than an hour.
