During the 2007 season, another edition of the program previewing the week's action aired Saturday evenings on MyNetworkTV.[1]
NFL Total Access was originally at the 7pm ET slot before being moved down to the 8pm ET time slot on September 2, 2013. On July 14, 2014, NFL Total Access moved back to the 7pm ET slot.

In 2006, the divisions were named after Miami Vice characters Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs (Super Bowl XLI was played at Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida).
- This title was used by Fox Sports Net for a magazine show about the NFL which ran in 1999. It was in a block with Hardcore Football, which lasted until 2002.
