The segment also looks back at the players’ previous matchup in Week 15 of last season, and how the rivalry first began.
  • Broncos–Bengals: NFL Films shines a spotlight on the 117 receiving yards and two touchdown performance of Sanders, and the 100 receiving yards and one touchdown performance from Thomas, and examines how the Broncos used formation and route design to provide big play opportunities for their star receiving duo.

  • Chargers–Colts: NFL Turning Point takes an inside look at the final minutes of the game, and how QB Andrew Luck and WR T.Y. Hilton connected for the Colts’ game-winning 63-yard touchdown pass.

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 2016 NBCSN will air a total of 21 NFL Turning Point episodes. The season finale, scheduled to air on Wednesday, February 8, 2017, will look back at the “turning point” of Super Bowl LI.
