5 year deal worth $3.3 billion. Previous 2 years was at $45M/game, prior 2 years to that was 37.5/game.

Wish the SEC CBS deal expired before 2023. Damn, the SEC is leaving a ton of money on the table.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Deals Alert
Fox Wins Rights to NFL Thursday Night Games in Five-Year Deal
Fox Broadcasting has secured the broadcast television rights to the National Football League's Thursday night football package for the next five years.

The new pact is valued at $3.3 billion, a hefty increase over the current agreement, according to people familiar with the matter. The deal sends a signal that Fox will continue to be an aggressive bidder for content even after parent company 21st Century Fox agreed to sell a significant chunk of its entertainment assets to Walt Disney.
