LAS VEGAS -- NFL Network brings winning drives to primetime with Tackle My Ride, a new unscripted reality series premiering Tuesday, November 15 at 8:00 PM ET.

"NFL Network has given us a tremendous opportunity to bring fresh, authentic and inspiring programming beyond the game of football to fans across the country," said Strahan. "Through the lens of custom car restoration, the series highlights individual stories of loyal fans-in-need while giving viewers inside access to some of their favorite football stars."
