With the move of selected games to CBS, media executives expected more major match-ups to appear on "Thursday Night Football" than in previous years in order to attract better viewership; in the past, "Thursday Night Football" had been criticized for often featuring games between lesser and poorer-performing teams. CBS and the NFL unveiled the games scheduled for "Thursday Night Football" in April 2014; CBS's slate of games featured a number of major divisional rivalries, including New York Giants–Washington, Green Bay–Minnesota, and its opening game on September 11, 2014, featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens.
