Rejoice America! You now know the order in which your favorite NFL team will play the games you already knew were on its schedule!
The whole idea of the schedule release drama (and leaks of the schedule release drama) is one of the more absurd elements of the NFL’s vicegrip on America. Alas, here we are. What is interesting is knowing which teams got the must-see nationally televised primetime television slots. As always, we’ll be collecting those here for you in one neat and tidy place.
We begin with the Thursday Night Football schedule for CBS and NFL Network, which doesn’t include the Thursday night games on NBC, but does include two Saturday games. See, I told you it was neat and tidy.
