However, Game 3 (the first game after the series shifted to Philadelphia) was postponed on October 31; at that time, MLB announced that all remaining games would be played one day later than scheduled.

As of Week 9 of the <a href="/wiki/2016_NFL_season" title="2016 NFL season">2016 NFL season</a>, this practice was also used on the NBC-produced <i>Thursday Night Football</i> broadcasts on NBC and/or NFL Network. </p><p>Michaels and Madden ended each telecast in the <a href="/wiki/2007_NFL_season" title="2007 NFL season">2007</a> and <a href="/wiki/2008_NFL_season" title="2008 NFL season">2008</a> NFL seasons by selecting an <a href="/wiki/Most_Valuable_Player" class="mw-redirect" title="Most Valuable Player">MVP</a> for that night's game to receive the <i>Horse Trailer</i> award (with a photo of each recipient being affixed to the side of a production truck, also known as a "horse trailer"). This concept originated from Madden's days with <i><a href="/wiki/NFL_on_CBS" title="NFL on CBS">CBS</a></i>, where he invented the similar "<a href="/wiki/NFL_on_Thanksgiving_Day#Game_MVPs" title="NFL on Thanksgiving Day">Turkey Leg Award</a>" for the <a href="/wiki/NFL_on_Thanksgiving_Day" title="NFL on Thanksgiving Day">Thanksgiving Day game</a> in 1989 (he later took the concept to Fox, then expanded it to every game of the year with the Horse Trailer Award when he joined ABC in 2002). In the 2006 season, the MVP concept was modified slightly, where the game's MVP was called the "Rock Star of the Game" and had his photo placed on a display at the "Top of the Rock" observation deck atop <a href="/wiki/30_Rockefeller_Plaza" title="30 Rockefeller Plaza">30 Rockefeller Plaza</a>, NBC's New York headquarters, in New York.

Subsequently, on Wild Card Saturday (January 7), the network's NFL presentation was changed to the new graphical styling to match the style and layout of the then-recently christened NBC Sports Network. Most of the banner's styling remains the same, but with a cleaner and larger font for readability and a more neutral NBC logo to the left rather than the "aggressive peacock" used since 2006. Elements such as team and individual player stats take on team colors (main color as the background, secondary color as the accent), and the down/yardage/possession graphic also takes on team coloring, with neutral team comparison stats and other elements having a gold/blue/black coloring. Additionally, the play clock appeared directly above the game clock throughout the entire game. </p><p>Beginning with the 2014 Hall of Fame Game on August 3, 2014, the play clock was moved to the right side, next to the down/yardage graphic, of the bottom-screen score banner, which itself remained in the 4:3 safe area. In addition, beginning with the <i>NFL Kickoff Special</i> on September 4, 2014, an electronic green-colored line-of-scrimmage marker was added to the virtual on-field graphic.
