FNIA Coach’s Clicker, NBCSN’s new weekly half-hour NFL studio show that dovetails off of Football Night in America, will provide an in-depth Xs-and-Os preview of the biggest games coming up in Week 4 of the season. FNIA Coach’s Clicker host Liam McHugh will be joined by Super Bowl-winning head coach Tony Dungy and two-time Super Bowl winner Rodney Harrison, who will preview this week’s Sunday Night Football matchup between the New England Patriots-Atlanta Falcons. In addition, Dungy and Harrison will look ahead to this Sunday’s matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos, and what to expect from Broncos QB Peyton Manning and Eagles QB Michael Vick. FNIA Coach’s Clicker also dissects the play of Seattle Seahawks CB Richard Sherman, and what makes him such a dangerous threat.

NFL Turning Point, hosted by Football Night In America’s Dan Patrick, will take a look back at Week 3 in the NFL and focus on the crucial “turning point” moments that ultimately defined the outcome of the Green Bay Packers-Cincinnati Bengals and Chicago Bears-Pittsburgh Steelers. The episode will also include feature segments on Seahawks QB Russell Wilson and New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan. The feature segments will be highlighted by in-game audio from the Seahawks 45-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Jets 27-20 victory over the Buffalo Bills.

FNIA COACH’S CLICKER

  • Dungy and Harrison analyze the New England defense that has helped lead the Patriots to a 3-0 record, as well as QB Tom Brady’s challenges connecting with a young group of wide receivers. Dungy and Harrison also take a look at the matchup problems that Falcons WR Julio Jones, WR Roddy White and TE Tony Gonzalez present for defensive units they are facing, as Atlanta prepares to host New England on Sunday Night Football.
  • Dungy looks at Broncos QB Peyton Manning’s ability to identify defensive schemes, and how Manning communicates with his wide receivers and changes audibles from drive-to-drive.
  • FNIA Coach’s Clicker previews the Week 4 contest between the Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos.  Dungy and Harrison break down the high-octane Eagles offense led by QB Michael Vick and RB LeSean McCoy, as well as how Denver’s increased physicality on defense could present issues for Eagles head coach Chip Kelly and his offense.
  • FNIA Coach’s Clicker also dissects the play of Seattle Seahawks CB Richard Sherman this season, as Seattle prepares to face the Houston Texans on Sunday.
