FNIA Coach’s Clicker to Preview Colts-Texans, Steelers-Patriots, Saints-Jets and Biggest Games of Week 9
NFL Turning Point to Examine Cowboys-Lions and Battle Between Wide Receivers Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant
Stamford, Conn. -- October 29, 2013 -- NBCSN’s in-depth coverage of the 2013 NFL season continues on Wednesday night at 5 p.m. ET, with a new episode of FNIA Coach’s Clicker, and Thursday morning at 12:30 a.m. ET, with a new episode of NFL Turning Point.
FNIA Coach’s Clicker, NBCSN’s weekly half-hour NFL studio show that dovetails off of Football Night In America, will provide an in-depth X’s-and-O’s preview of the biggest games coming up in Week 9 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 champion Rodney Harrison, who will preview this week’s Sunday Night Football matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans, who have combined to win the past four AFC South titles. In addition, Dungy and Harrison will look ahead to the Steelers-Patriots and Saints-Jets.
NFL Turning Point, hosted by Football Night In America’s Dan Patrick, will take a look back at Week 8 in the NFL and focus on the crucial “turning point” moments that ultimately defined the outcome of some of the week’s most watched contests.
This week’s episode of NFL Turning Point breaks down the Cowboys-Lions game, and the offensive contest between two of the NFL’s top wide receivers. The show will give viewers an in-depth look at Detroit’s Calvin Johnson, who had 329 receiving yards - just seven yards shy of the NFL record - and Dallas’ Dez Bryant, who scored on two of his three receptions. The episode highlights the back-and-forth battle between the two teams, and analyzes the Lions’ dramatic comeback with seconds left in the fourth quarter. In addition, the segment features in-game audio from Lions QB Mathew Stafford, who was wired for sound during the game.
NFL Turning Point will also include two spotlight features. The first looks at the Patriots defense, and how New England continues to win, despite suffering significant player injuries that have left the team without three defensive starters. The episode also takes an in-depth look at the New Orleans Saints, and how defensive coordinator Rob Ryan has turned the defensive unit around, after it finished last in the NFL in 2012.
