Irv Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Dumb question. If you played a 1PM game and got traded immediately after to a team that's playing the Monday Night game - would you be eligble to play Monday? I ask this becuase I have no life and could not find anything on the interwebs. In this situation you could pad your stats. But I wonder how the union rules and pay would work out. Has it ever happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Sunday is the first day of the week, Monday would be the start of a new week. It’s been that way for 2000+ years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it ever happened? I'm pretty sure that if the first game played is a 1pm start in Pacific Time and the second game is a Monday night 8:30pm start in Eastern time, then the player IS eligible to play due to the hours passed between games. That's why Ertz was ineligible to play ... because not enough hours had passed between games. https://nflpaweb.blob.core.windows.net/website/PDFs/CBA/March-15-2020-NFL-NFLPA-Collective-Bargaining-Agreement-Final-Executed-Copy.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 When the sad day comes for Ryan Fitzpatrick to retire, league rules will be bent so he can play the Thursday night game, Sunday early game, Sunday night game, and Monday night game. All so he can add three more jerseys to the collection. (Monday night is a Bills game. 😁) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Has a player ever played more than 16 games in a season? It would be possible if traded during a bye week. Hell, technically that could actually happen more than once during the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league week goes Tuesday-Monday. Edited October 26, 2021 by TBBills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, Thursday is in the prior week to an upcoming Monday (new week). Open your eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
