Terry Bradshaw and Michael Strahan will perform double duty for the “NFL on FOX” this weekend.

Saturday will feature two NFL games, with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Houston Texans and the Pittsburgh Steelers visiting the archrival Baltimore Ravens. Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady will be on the call for the AFC North clash, with Michael Strahan and Terry set to work overtime.

Per a report from Tom Sunderland of The Mirror, FOX has decided to have Bradshaw and Strahan work on both Saturday and Sunday, an extension from their usual one-day-a-week schedule.

Terry Bradshaw and Michael Strahan, along with the rest of the “NFL on FOX” crew, usually work in the studio on Sundays. But the NFL added some Saturday games for Weeks 16 and 17, so the two Hall of Famers will really earn their paycheck this weekend.

Bradshaw spent his entire Hall of Fame career with the Steelers, helping them to four Super Bowls in the “Steel Curtain” era. His old team would sweep the season series over Baltimore with a road win while also pushing themselves closer to the division crown.

The Phoenix Suns are desperately trying to improve their record and stay put for a playoff run this season. Coming into their latest game against the Atlanta Hawks, the Suns made some aggressive changes. And it included their starting center, Jusuf Nurki,c from their team. Surprisingly, the move paid off, the Suns won 123-115, inching closer to .500. With the win, the Suns’ record also improved to 17 wins and 19 losses this season.

However, such a decision did not sit well with Nurkic. After initial reports claimed that Nurkic was on the bench despite being perfectly healthy, the Suns’ head coach made another surprising comment. It was assumed that Nurkic was benched due to the matchup. But HC Mike Budenholzer stated that he simply wanted to bench the 30-year-old.

“Yeah, just went with Mason and Oso tonight. Again, just always trying to figure out what’s best for the team and find the right combinations, the right group… We just went with Mason and Oso,” said Budenholzer.

Quite expected, Nurkic seemed frustrated about the entire incident. Speaking on the matter, Nurkic stated, “No comment, man. Just be a pro and get ready. That’s all.” Now, such a situation has sparked trade rumors for Nurkic. While nothing is confirmed yet, it remains to be seen whether the 30-year-old requests for a change of jersey logos. However, this is not the first time the Suns have benched Nurkic.

Phoenix Suns Made A Tough Call Regarding Jusuf Nurkic Previously Too

Jusuf Nurkic has not been in good form recently. Having played 23 matches this season, his per-game average sits at a mere 8.8 points. The 30-year-old has also averaged 1.9 assists and 9.5 rebounds per game, making matters worse. Thus, with his form not looking promising, the Suns’ management decided to drop him against their match with the Philadelphia 76ers.
