Game Report: Green Bay @ Denver

Fred Mackaman

Game Date:  Sun Nov 1, 2015

Teams:  Green Bay Packers @ Denver Broncos

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.

Pregame Thoughts

This game is going to be a big deal as both teams go into it undefeated for the first seven weeks (each is at 6-0).  They’re both highly competent with brilliant, mature quarterbacks — so play should be of the highest caliber, and one of these teams will leave with a 6-1 record for the season (while the other, of course, 7-0).  I’m rooting for my Denver Broncos, but I don’t hate Green Bay — in fact, I’ve enjoyed watching them play, I think Aaron Rogers is wonderful.  So either way this turns out will be okay.

I enjoyed seeing my Broncos defeat Green Bay 29-10.

Commercial commentary

  • 114 separate commercials, T-factor 5.10/7.0.  Typical number of commercials, lower T-factor.

Interesting Extras

Superbowl 32 was these two teams – some shots from that game.  Little HS game clip.

Points to Ponder

I wonder if Nike has to pay for the privilege of making all the uniforms?

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.  Remember, asterisks (*) mark commercials with a football theme (especially when the product advertised is NOT explicitly football-related).
