[If the Chargers move to LA next year, remember the Rams and Chargers are to play each other in 2018 with the Rams as the designated home team.]
[By that point, I'd like to see the entire Thursday night package - all 18 games - split evenly between CBS, NBC, and ABC (the opening night and Thanksgiving night games continue to be part of NBC's Sunday night package). In most years, CBS and NBC would each get 5 Thursday night games and ABC 4, with CBS and NBC each getting a late Saturday afternoon game in December and ABC getting 2 Saturday night games after the college football regular season ends, with adjustments made in some years. As always, all games are simulcast on NFL Network. I'd like the 2018 Chargers-Rams game to be one of, if not the first Thursday night games to air on ABC (which is channel 7 where you live).]
[The adjustments would be made as follows]
[If week 15 and 16 have the Saturdays fall on December 14/13 and 21/20, only the night game on ABC is played on the first Saturday to protect the Army-Navy Game on CBS and a game is played on NBC or CBS on Friday night week 16]
[If Christmas Eve falls on a Thursday, ABC's Thursday game in week 16 is moved to Friday night, with their NBA games as strong lead-in programming]
[if Christmas Eve falls on a Saturday, ABC airs a game the Friday night before and CBS (still simulcast with NFLN) airs a game the late Sunday afternoon which is Christmas which only has 2 national games as regional games are moved to Saturday]
