Bengals, Dolphins Avoid Short-week Games

[Coach_Rob]

It’s a good thing for these teams to avoid the short-week obligation. And it also can be spun internally as a slap in the face to a pair of teams that are regarded as irrelevant, as evidenced by the fact that they won’t play in the Thursday night slot.

The Bengals have a Monday night game at Pittsburgh in Week Four, and the Dolphins have a Monday night game at Pittsburgh in Week Eight. But neither Cincinnati nor Miami will play on a Thursday this year.

I thought every team had to have a Thursday game. That's a good thing for us though

Giants, Bengals, Pats to end the season looks tough. How are we gonna lose those games?

Something about most of those Thursday games though - one team wins.
