History of Thursday Night Football
There have been countless memorable moments since the inception of Thursday Night Football back in 2006. Among them was the highest-scoring game in TNF history, when the Los Angeles Rams went head-to-head against the San Francisco 49ers in 2017. Both teams scored a minimum of six points during each quarter and the Rams ended up beating San Fran by just two points, 41-39.
Meanwhile, the 2015 game between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions made history with the longest game-ending touchdown in NFL history at the time. Aaron Rodgers threw a 61-yard Hail Mary pass as time expired in the fourth quarter to win the game in dramatic fashion. Dubbed the “Miracle in Motown,” the play resulted in a dramatic 27-23 come-from-behind victory for the Packers, who had trailed 20-0 in the second half. The victory was also the Packers’ fourth-largest comeback in franchise history.
