Hi guys
Just announced on NFLUK that instead of a live game at 6pm we will get Red Zone channel instead.
Here's the blurb
The 2010 NFL season is so fiercely contested that picking the best game each week is almost impossible. So for the first time Sky Sports viewers will be able to follow all the big plays in the climactic games of the season via the Red Zone.
In Weeks 15 (December 19), 16 and 17, instead of showing just one game in the 6:00 p.m. Sunday time slot, Sky Sports will air the Red Zone channel, which means that viewers will be able to follow approximately 10 games at a time - never missing a single key play. Sky will then show one live game in the 9:00 p.m. slot as usual.
The Red Zone will offer British viewers a unique viewing experience, never before offered in any other sport. Here is how it works:
Whenever play reaches the red zone - the area inside the 20-yard line - coverage will switch to that game, often flipping between multiple games to ensure nothing is missed. Big plays that take teams into scoring positions; key defensive plays; every scoring play - guaranteed to be aired within 60 seconds - anything that matters in any game will be shown throughout a breathless three-hour journey around the league.
Red Zone will guarantee that viewers are up to date with every development in a 2010 season that has seen:
27 out of 32 teams entering Week 14 with playoff hopes still alive
19 of 32 teams having records of .500 or above
The lead in seven of eight divisions currently decided by one win or fewer
15 teams either at the top of a division or only one game back with four to play
When Red Zone kicks off in Week 15, a total of 10 games will be kicking off at 6:00 p.m. - almost all of them with significant playoff implications. The Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans will go head-to-head in a clash of division championship contenders; Jacksonville Jaguars travel to Indianapolis Colts in a potential AFC South showdown; the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants square off in a clash for the NFC East; the Kansas City Chiefs and St Louis Rams pit their own division title hopes against each other.
And there's so much more. Everyone gets to see their team; no sitting through a blow-out. It's a roller-coaster of a ride that is the perfect way to introduce a newcomer to the excitement of the NFL.
Sky Sports at 6:00 p.m. for the British debut of the Red Zone channel on Sunday December 19 is the only place to be sure of not missing a thing.

Nilsson - either you or I have misunderstood this.
My take is that Sky show a game in full, but the red button option exists if you want to take it. If I've read it right I think it's fantastic news, I could be wrong of course.... |

It's instead of a live game at 6pm There is NO live game at 6pm now - only Red Zone channel |

While I can see what they're getting at, it doesn't do it for me I'm afraid, there's more to the game than what happens in the Red Zone. They should show a 6pm game, but leave it till the nearer the time to decide which one depending upon who's alive, by week 17 there will be plenty of teams out of the equation and not worthy of air time.

In fact, no need to wait, these should be the 6pm games:
Week 15- Saints @ Baltimore (maybe Eagles @ Giants, toss a coin ffs) Week 16- Jets @ Bears Week 17- Bears @ Packers |

Great. Any scoring play from over 20 yards you won't get to see live. Genius.
