Yeah, turns out that’s true. But the review was to see if the player was out of bounds. He wasn’t. The clock should have been restarted. The fact that a challenge also stops the clock same as a timeout, win or lose, is stupid. You could theoretically challenge minor things and if you win end up with 3 extra timeouts.

In theory, yes... but that's only works if you win the challenges and are able to call for them at a period where you would be willing to have called a TO in case you lose. Furthermore, if you use them up then you won't have a challenge if you need it later.

You have a lot of people in the NFL looking for any advantage they can get. If strategic use of challenges lead to "extra" TOs I'm sure we'd be seeing it used much more often.

I'm actually surprised by this. I know the Lions have played more Thursday games than anyone, but Dallas is not far behind and figured they would have the most.

The Lions are also #2 all time for losses on a Sunday with 623. Only the Arizona/St.Louis Cardinals have more with over 700.

I think we've been playing on Thanksgiving Thursdays since 1935 or something?
