Game Date: Sunday, September 27 2015
Teams: Denver Broncos @ Detroit Lions
Network: NBC
You’re reading what I hope will be one of many Game Reports in which I document my growth as a novice NFL TV fan. You can check here if you’d like to learn more about my plans.
I’ve chosen the Denver Broncos as one of two teams to support this season (the other being the New Orleans Saints). This was the first time I watched two football games all the way through on the same day, and it was pretty tiring. I was glad to see Denver win but it never seemed like they were in much danger against Detroit.
TV Razzle Dazzle
Standard, exceptionally good video coverage of the event.
Entertainment value
2/5. I must say I enjoy when Peyton Manning does well.
Commercial commentary
Similar to other games so far — but a new record of 113 separate commercials. Testosterone level was high, too, in these commercials: 5.22/7.00.
Interesting Extras
Nothing caught my attention.
Here’s the commercial roster for the show. I’ve sorted this one by category, but you can also see which quarter the ads were telecast and in what order.
