2016-17 NFL schedule is now out

[NewYorkKnight]

The Broncos will host the Panthers in this year's Thursday night opener on Sept. 8.


It's a Super Bowl 50 rematch, albeit without Peyton Manning. The stars had to align for this matchup to be possible, as the Broncos and Panthers only play once every four years. 2016 just happened to be the year the Panthers head to Denver. The NFL has made a new tradition of the defending Super Bowl champs hosting the season's opening game.


This will be the 1st time since 1970 that Week 1 sees a Super Bowl rematch from the previous year.

 

[NewYorkKnight]

The Cardinals are hosting the Patriots in the first Sunday Night Football game of the season on NBC.

 

[NewYorkKnight]

Rams will play 2 of 1st 7 gms in LA. They are home in Week 2 vs Seattle & 5 vs Bills.

Also have a "home" game in Week 7 vs Giants in London.

 

[NewYorkKnight]

The Cowboys are hosting the Redskins for their annual Thanksgiving game.


Detroit hosts the Vikings in its annual 12:30 ET matinee.

For the night game, Pittsburgh is traveling to Indianapolis.
