It is very similar to The NFL Today on CBS and Fox NFL Sunday, which airs on Fox. The show's former names include NFL GameDay from 1985 to 1995, NFL Countdown from 1996 to 1997, and since 1998, Sunday NFL Countdown (to demarcate from the Monday night version of the series). In 2006, the program introduced new graphics and a new logo to resemble the network's Monday Night Football logo.
The show made its first appearance on TV in 1985 and Chris Berman has been the studio host for every one of those years. Jack Youngblood was the first analyst. In 1987 he was replaced by Pete Axthelm and Tom Jackson.
The show's awards include seven Sports Emmy Awards for Outstanding Weekly Show (1988, 1991, 1994, 1995, 2001, 2003 and 2006 seasons) and five CableACE Awards (1989, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995 seasons).
