Hosted by Football Night In America’s Dan Patrick, the 30-minute long NFL Turning Point, co-produced by NFL Films, airs weekly throughout the entire NFL season, including the playoffs and Super Bowl.

This week’s episode features:

  • Jets-Giants: NFL Films shines a spotlight on the Jets match up with their hometown rival Giants, and examines Tom Coughlin’s decision to go for a touchdown with more than eight minutes left in the fourth quarter and a 10-point lead. In addition, the segment studies Ryan Fitzpatrick’s performance and how he was able to orchestrate the come-from-behind win for the Jets.
  • Texans-Bills: NFL Turning Point reviews Buffalo’s fourth-quarter performance in Sunday’s must win game against Houston, and studies the 20-yard run by RB LeSean McCoy and 40-yard touchdown catch by TE Charles Clay, which helped the Bills secure the victory.
  • Falcons-Buccaneers: NFL Films shines a spotlight on Winston’s game-winning drive and examines how his 20-yard run on third and 19 proved to be the turning point of the game.
  • Jaguars-Titans: NFL Turning Point reviews Marcus Mariota’s four-touchdown performance (three passing/one rushing), including his 87-yard touchdown run, and how his overall play led the Titans to a win over the Jaguars.  The segment features in-game audio from Mariota during Sunday’s win.

 

Wednesday night’s Sounds of The Game – Powered by BOSE – segment features additional in-game audio from Ryan and Mariota in their respective games on Sunday.

Each week 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 pre-game and post-game access, sideline sounds, jaw-dropping cinematography and incredible storytelling that is synonymous with NFL Films.

In 2015 NBCSN will air a total of 21 episodes. The season finale, scheduled to air on Wednesday, February 4, 2016, will look back at the “turning point” of Super Bowl 50.
