There's more. Only three NFL teams can appear as many as six times in primetime — on NBC, ESPN or the league's own NFL Network — and no team can appear more than four times on NBC. And NBC can't pick up games already slated for primetime on ESPN or the NFL Network.
I thought the Dallas Thanksgiving game was on CBS, if so that might not have counted towards the 6.

The Thanksgiving game technically wans't a primetime game. The primetime games were three on NBC (Giants, Bears, Eagles), one on ESPN (Bills) and two on NFL Network (Packers, Panthers).
