NFL Primetime is a sports television program that has aired on ESPN since 1987. The current season (2006) is slated to be the show's last, due to the shuffle of NFL broadcast rights. The show is hosted by Chris Berman, with analysis from Tom Jackson. It appears every Sunday night during the NFL American football season and it precedes ESPN's coverage of "Sunday Night Football." Berman and Jackson recap Sunday afternoon's NFL games with highlights, statistics, and commentary. The broadcast after the Super Bowl also featured Steve Young.

Pete Axthelm was a regular from 1987 until his death in 1991. Through the show's history, other co-hosts included Robin Roberts, Bill Pidto, and Stuart Scott. Pidto was often the target of good-natured ribbing by Berman, since Pidto often did recaps of games of little importance.
