1. The full, 272-game NFL schedule will get released Thursday, but the league has already started to reveal some of the big games for the upcoming season.
Before we get to that, let me tell you some things you need to know about this year’s schedule.
• ESPN will get three Monday night doubleheaders this season. Technically, they’re not “doubleheaders,” because they will overlap with games starting, for example at 7 p.m. ET and 8:30 p.m. ET, but you get the idea. Three Mondays during the regular season will feature two games at night, with one airing on ABC and the other airing on ESPN. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will have the call for one game, while Chris Fowler will handle play-by-play for the secondary game.
