THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
October 2, 2014  | By David Bianculli

CBS, 8:25 p.m. ET

 

With four games played thus far this season, tonight’s two teams have averaged a positively average record: Both the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers are 2-2 as they face each other tonight. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has Lambeau Field as his not-so-secret weapon, while the Vikings still are playing without running back Adrian Peterson, who’s on the exempt list for tonight’s game as he awaits his fate at the hands of a grand jury on charges of severe corporal punishment. Despite what the controversy is doing to the image of pro football, it’s not hurting the ratings. NBC’s Sunday Night Football is this season’s No. 1 show – and the new CBS Thursday franchise is right behind at No. 2.
