  • Steelers-Bengals: NFL Turning Point showcases the Steelers’ dominant 25-point fourth-quarter performance in Cincinnati, highlighting another big performance by Le’Veon Bell.
  • Ravens-Dolphins: The segment keys in on the how Baltimore’s defense kept its playoff hopes alive, sacking Miami QB Ryan Tannehill six times and liming the Dolphins to just 249 yards of total offense

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 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.
