"The same new contracts that move Monday Night Football to ESPN next season also move the Sunday evening package from ESPN to NBC. The peacock network gets an exclusive on highlight shows from the end of the doubleheader game Sunday afternoon until midnight Sunday. So Primetime might still run at 12:01 a.m. Monday, or prior to the new ESPN Monday night telecast. But its status as the go-to show every Sunday of the NFL season is now concluded. Even if Primetime is still around on Monday next fall, it will no longer possess the immediacy of the old show."

Truly the end of an era. The Sunday night game becomes the sweetest plum AND they get their own version of primetime.
