Each week NFL Turning Point is built around select NFL match-ups from the previous weekend, and focuses on the crucial “turning point” moments that ultimately defined the outcome of each game. The show features anatomy-of-a-play type segments and long form, Game-of-the-Week style narratives that includes the pre-game and post-game access, sideline sounds, jaw-dropping cinematography and incredible storytelling that is synonymous with NFL Films.
This season the NBC Sports Group delivered a total of 22 episodes, running weekly on Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. ET throughout the entire NFL season. NFL Turning Point will return to NBC Sports Network in 2014 with the same unprecedented access and will examine turning point moments in high profile games every week.
