Stamford, Conn. – January 13, 2015 – This week’s edition of NFL Turning Point, NBCSN’s Emmy Award-nominated weekly NFL show co-produced by NFL Films, will feature in-depth analysis of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots thrilling come-from-behind Divisional Playoff victory over Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens, as well as Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers win over Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys. Airing tomorrow night at 11 p.m. ET, NFL Turning Point will break down the games, including the Patriots use of eligible and ineligible receivers against the Ravens, and the controversial fourth-quarter incomplete pass call involving Cowboys WR Dez Bryant.

The all new episode will also examine the other two Divisional Playoff matchups this past weekend, including the Colts victory over the Broncos, and the Seahawks win against the Panthers.

Hosted by Football Night In America’s Dan Patrick, the hour-long program airs throughout the entire NFL season. There are four episodes remaining this season.

This week’s episode includes:

  • Ravens – Patriots: NFL Films analyzes how the Patriots were able to generate confusion using a no huddle offense and calling audibles at the line of scrimmage, and the Ravens reaction to it on and off the field. The segment includes in-game audio from Patriots WR Julian Edelman and Ravens LB Terrell Suggs. NFL Turning Point also highlights comments made by Brady, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, and Ravens head coach John Harbaugh about New England’s use of eligible and ineligible receivers.

 

  • Cowboys – Packers: NFL Turning Point reviews the performance of QB Aaron Rodgers, including his mobility issues and accuracy. The segment also shines a spotlight on the strong play of Packers LB Julius Peppers. NFL Films breaks down the controversial incomplete pass call involving WR Dez Bryant in the fourth quarter, and features in-game audio from Packers LB Clay Matthews and Cowboys S J.J. Wilcox.

 

  • Colts – Broncos: NFL Films breaks down how both Broncos QB Peyton Manning and Colts QB Andrew Luck performed. The segment also studies how the Colts defense challenged Manning throughout the game and the impact it had on his overall play. Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders and Colts LB Jerrell Freeman are wired-for-sound.

 

  • Panthers – Seahawks: NFL Turning Point highlights the play of the Seahawks defense and how they forced three turnovers, including a 90-yard pick six by S Kam Chancellor.  The segment also reviews the play of Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, and features in-game audio from Panthers LB Luke Kuechly and Seahawks LB Bobby Wagner.  

 

Each week Emmy-nominated NFL Turning Point is built around select NFL matchups from the previous weekend, and focuses on the crucial “turning point” moments that ultimately defined the outcome of each game. The show also features anatomy-of-a-play type segments and long form, Game-of-the-Week style narratives that include the pre-game and post-game access, sideline sounds, jaw-dropping cinematography and incredible storytelling that is synonymous with NFL Films.

In 2014-15 NBCSN will air a total of 22 episodes, running throughout the entire NFL season, including the playoffs and Super Bowl. The season finale, scheduled to air on Wednesday, February 4, 2015, will look back at the turning point of Super Bowl XLIX.
