Only one NFL team — hardly surprisingly, the Carolina Panthers — will not appear on prime time, or, for that matter, in any nationally-televised game, in 2024 (unless they are "flexed" into such a game, which is highly unlikely in view of the fact that not only did they finish two games behind the next-worst teams in the league in 2023, but also mortgaged their top pick in the 2024 NFL draft for a quarterback who has the weakest arm the NFL has seen since Eddie LeBaron).
But how did the other 31 teams fare when it comes to prime-time appearances?

Dallas (who else?) — 6 (plus a Thanksgiving Day game, which is nationally televised)
N.Y. Jets — 6
San Francisco — 6
