NFL Insiders explained
NFL Insiders was a National Football League studio show, that aired Monday through Friday at 3:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.[1] The football-themed show replaced NFL 32 on August 5, 2013.[2] The program was one of the only NFL-related studio programs to air during the week along with NFL Live. On September 13, 2015, a new Sunday edition of NFL Insiders began airing on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. ET, replacing the first hour of Sunday NFL Countdown (which itself was shortened from 3 hours to 2 hours before it became a 3-hour show once again in 2017).
