NFL schedule 2022

The NFL released the New England Patriots 2022 schedule on Thursday night and there are FIVE primetime games on this baby!

Additionally, they didn’t have a first-round pick in this year’s draft because they traded it to move up and get Fields last year. And down the stretch, they will likely be the most important of the entire year. The Patriots have five primetime games and FOUR in a row from Weeks 12-15, with two on shortened weeks.

The NFL's schedule release is just another reminder that the 2022 regular season is just around the corner. While every NFL game is important, several games ...

The Rams' title defense received a huge boost when three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald decided to return after temporarily mulling retirement. With Mahomes under constant pressure, the Chiefs became only the third team in Super Bowl history not to score a touchdown. To the surprise of everyone, the Colts were upset by Jacksonville and in the process were eliminated from playoff contention. Speaking of Tampa Bay, the Buccaneers' title defense was ended by Matthew Stafford and the Rams in last year's divisional round showdown. Brady's brilliance was matched by Stafford, whose 20- and 44-yard completions to Cooper Kupp in the game's final minute set up Matt Gay's game-winning field goal as time expired. Expect Taylor to be more involved in the offense when the Colts return to Jacksonville this fall. John Madden's Raiders lost consecutive AFC title games to the Steelers before finally getting past Pittsburgh en route to the franchise's first Super Bowl title. The Colts will also be ready to showcase their new quarterback, Matt Ryan, who comes to Indianapolis following a decorated run in Atlanta. Indianapolis just needed to defeat a 2-14 Jaguars team that had fired their coach earlier in the season. Carson Wentz's first season in Washington will include games against both of his previous teams, the Eagles and Colts. New Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will also face his former team -- the Houston Texans -- for the first time this season. Specifically, there are several revenge games that will garner plenty of headlines in the days leading up to kickoff. Wilson's time in Seattle included two Super Bowl appearances as well as the franchise's first-ever Super Bowl win.

The Cowboys and Lions are playing on Thanksgiving, per usual, and this year, the Bills, Giants, Patriots and Vikings will join them.

Those games were designed to boost the national profile of the Cardinals, but ultimately, the Cowboys permanently returned to the Thanksgiving slot in 1978. The only times they didn't play came as a result of the NFL awarding two Thanksgiving games to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1975 and 1977. They have an away game against the Lions on their schedule for 2022, but they still weren't chosen as one of the Thanksgiving game participants. The Lions will play on Thanksgiving Day for the 83rd time in 2022; they have put up a 37-43-2 record in their previous 82 games, including a 16-14 loss to the Bears last season. Meanwhile, the Cowboys' Thanksgiving game tradition began in 1966 and was designed to help improve the team's popularity. The Giants and the Cowboys are set to square off in a division rivalry clash. Both the Patriots and Vikings have solid offensive attacks that tend to be ground-oriented. The NFL is treating fans to a few good matchups on Thanksgiving in 2022. Meanwhile, the Lions are currently on a five-game Thanksgiving losing streak. That was despite starting the season with an 0-10-1 record, so his team should continue to compete week in and week out with a better roster in 2022. The NFL released its schedule for 2022 on Thursday, and that revealed the three Thanksgiving matchups. Below is all the information you need to know about the NFL's Thanksgiving schedule for 2022.

It's always a time of endless optimism and hope, and this year's NFL schedule release was no different.

Other huge games to note include the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Chargers in Week 2, the Green Bay Packers hosting the Rams in Week 15 and a crosstown LA clash on New Year's Day with the Chargers hosting the Rams -- although they both play home games in the SoFi Stadium. The reigning Super Bowl champions, the LA Rams, released a video titled "Stealing the Schedule" which includes some of the team's biggest stars attempt to carry out a heist to reveal the dates of the team's games. On Thursday, the NFL and its franchises announced the schedule for the 2022 season, with the exact dates and weeks revealed for some mouthwatering clashes.

The NFL will announce 2022 schedules for all 32 teams at 8 p.m. ET Thursday. The Athletic's NFL writers break down what to watch and look forward to when ...

I plugged in eight wins for the Browns when making these calculations. The other way I calculated this was by measuring the gap between each team's Vegas win total and its 17th opponent's total. If we do that, the ranking comes out this way, from toughest to easiest: One of the first schedule announcements is official now. That was up 7% over 2020 and close to flat (17.6 million) with 2019. Now that Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowler, has arrived, Denver is once again a big draw for networks. Denver did not play on Monday Night Football last season for the first time since 1991. (The games will also be televised in the home markets of the playing teams.). Amazon paid the NFL $1 billion for the privilege, and the NFL will want to be a good partner here. Zac Jackson has an excellent piece on the Browns' schedule in relation to television. Obviously, every network wants as many Bucs games as they can get this year given the opportunity to showcase Blaine Gabbert (Relax. They want you know who.) 3. ESPN’s new Monday Night Football booth — Joe Buck and Troy Aikman — have long called the best games every week. Also, the Broncos visit the Rams on Christmas Day.

If you're looking for NFL schedule leaks, you've come to the right place.

Over the course of the day, hopefully we'll be able to answer some key questions like: Who will the Rams be hosting in the NFL opener? At 8 p.m. ET, the NFL will be unveiling all 272 games that will be played during the regular season this year. Who will be playing Thanksgiving? Which six teams will be taking part in the NFL's first-ever Christmas tripleheader?

The 2022 NFL regular season will kick off with a marquee showdown in Los Angeles as the Rams will host the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 8. Check the complete Week ...

Minnesota QB Kirk Cousins will get another shot to improve upon a 1-9 record on Monday night, while Jalen Hurts looks to get off to a hot start in a pivotal third season. This time it's in Western New York, but it's another marquee matchup for the Bills to start the season as they face last year's AFC No. 1 seed a week after playing the reigning Super Bowl champs. Then again, Justin Fields leading Chicago to its first win in Green Bay since 2015 would certainly be a statement for the second-season signal-caller. This is a big one for Raider Nation, and Jones, who will get to face off against his former squad. No matter who's under center, Kyle Shanahan's Niners are looking to snap a four-game losing streak to Pete Carroll's 'Hawks. Tom Brady, Mike Evans and the Buccaneers' offense will no doubt have some extra incentive in this one, but Cameron Jordan and the Saints defense don't figure to give up much ground. Week 1 will conclude with the nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback's anticipated return to play his old squad, which traded him to the Broncos in the offseason. He'll have to jump right in against the three-time reigning division champions. The Lovie Smith era in Houston kicks off with quarterback Davis Mills' first Week 1 start. Hutchinson is likely to have a high-profile matchup against Eagles standout left tackle Jordan Mailata and will need to get his motor running to track down fleet-footed Philly QB Jalen Hurts. Atop the marquee will be 2021 NFL Draft first-round quarterbacks Trey Lance and Justin Fields, who are projected to lead their respective squads into this season-opening clash. This will also mark the return to the field of Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey after his 2021 season was cut short due to injury.

This year's slate features some revenge games, matchups and homecomings for a slew of stars who have changed teams this offseason. Plus a healthy dose of ...

He has a habit of dismantling even the best of players, and one-armed Tom Brady during a dog fight of a game last year early in the season. While I don’t imagine there will be a nuanced discussion about the NFL’s gambling partners or what constitutes a reasonable effort in assembling a roster every year, I do imagine whoever is calling that game will be on high alert for any kind of freudian slips. However, there is a large faction of this country still mechanically tuned to flipping on their main-room television and turning on the game. In Week 10, buried in the 1 p.m. CBS slate, both the Dolphins and Browns, teams that either have already been investigated for tanking or are currently under investigation for tanking (with one team perhaps setting the bar for the other), will be on the field together. The Cardinals are, conveniently, in prime time the week DeAndre Hopkins’s suspension for performance-enhancing substances is up against a Saints team that aggressively moved up the board for wide receiver Chris Olave out of Ohio State. This could be as good a chance to see a legitimate shootout. This is also a good chance to talk a little bit about Amazon’s slate of games in general. This is less about Brady and Patrick Mahomes and more about Todd Bowles and Andy Reid. Bowles rolled out one of the most dominating game plans in Super Bowl history against the Chiefs in 2021, a stunning teardown of the best offense in sports. I think I’ve settled on the idea that most of the time, a fan incident gets amplified because of our idea of Philadelphia, and our idea of Philadelphia comes from an amalgam of pop culture-y events that both encourage bad actors (who aren’t really Eagles fans) and entrench the idea that this is a truly ghoulish group of people at the stadium. McCarthy’s defensive coordinator, Dan Quinn, has one of the best and most creative blitzing linebackers (Micah Parsons) the league has seen in the past five years. Mike McCarthy will return to Green Bay, and while a great deal of time has passed ( it will be almost four years since he was fired by the Packers), a contentious ending to one of the best coach-and-quarterbacking tandems in NFL history still remains. Editor (and esteemed Philadelphian) Mitch Goldich and I talk often about the reputation of Philadelphia fans and how much of their place in the horrid fan universe is deserved. In addition, this is the second straight week Brady will be on a Fox broadcast after signing a 10-year deal reportedly worth almost $400 million with the company.

The NFL released the regular-season schedule on Thursday. The season opens with the defending champions Los Angeles Rams hosting the Buffalo Bills.

Read more from Josh Weinfuss Read more from Kevin Seifert Read more from Turron Davenport In that regard, coach Pete Carroll will outprepare Todd Bowles the same way he outprepared Jon Gruden. Read more from Brady Henderson That type of performance in the division would go a long way toward a return to the playoffs but you'll have to pay extra for that type of prediction here. Read more from Rich Cimini This season they face two who were in the top 10 and only five in the top 14. The Cowboys break the NFC East jinx and win the division in back-to-back years. The Ravens win the AFC North to become the NFL's latest team to go from last place to first. That's a major boost to a Ravens team that lost five games by three points or fewer last season, including a one-point defeat to the eventual Super Bowl champion Rams. Read more from Jamison Hensley They've lost 17 consecutive road games dating back to a victory in Oakland on Dec. 15, 2019, and 16 consecutive games against NFC teams dating back to beating the Giants in the 2018 season opener. The Patriots will need to beat the Bills in the regular-season finale to secure a playoff berth, and it will be intriguing to see how it unfolds if Buffalo has already solidified its own playoff seeding.

Week 13: Bills at Patriots, 8:15 p.m. ET Much further on down the TNF schedule, an intriguing matchup to watch is the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets in Week 16. The short week always has a mind of its own, however. Another fun offensive showcase will occur in the short days that follow. The Los Angeles Rams will host the Buffalo Bills to kick off the new season on the first Thursday night of the new year.

This was the second time that the Chefs blew a double-digit lead to the Bengals in the second half of a game. The Browns acquired Watson in hopes to make a Super Bowl push in the AFC, while the Texans are stuck in the midst of a rebuild. Both of these teams are Super Bowl Contenders and could match up in the postseason again, so could the third time be the charm for the Bills? But after a questionable timeout call by the Chargers that gave the Raiders a chance to run another play and kick the field goal as time expired, the raiders won 35-32 in overtime and sent the Chargers home. If it ended in a tie, both teams would have made it to the playoffs and sent the Pittsburgh Steelers home. On paper, this is not the best match-up as the Broncos seem to be the better squad, but maybe the return of Wilson will give Seattle just enough luck for an upset.

Yet again, social media departments for NFL teams put together creative videos to announce their schedules. Who stood out this season?

Back in 2020 they released a video that played to the quarantine lives we were all living at the time, featuring “Sunday Best” by Surfaces: Teams have put together some impressive videos over the years, including this from the Atlanta Falcons from a few seasons ago, as “Game of Thrones” captivated the nation: For many, the buildup to the schedule has become something of a chore.

Now that we have the full 272-game regular season schedule, here are a few highlights: The Rams will kick off the NFL season by hosting the Bills in the ...

- The NFL is also giving us a tripleheader on Christmas Day. On Sunday, Dec. 25, the Dolphins will host the Packers in the early game, the Rams will host the Broncos in the middle game and the Buccaneers will travel to Arizona for the nightcap. - The annual triple-header on Thanksgiving Day will open with the Bills at the Lions followed by the Giants at the Cowboys. The Patriots will then travel to Minnesota for the Turkey Day nightcap. - Russell Wilson will be making his return to Seattle and he'll be doing it in primetime when the Broncos play at the Seahawks in the NFL's Monday night opener.

The streaming service’s best game is Ravens at Bucs in Week 8. ESPN gets Brady and the Bucs for one game in Week 13 against the Saints. While NBC has the best schedule, Monday Night Football and ESPN have their best schedule in ages, including Russell Wilson’s highly anticipated return to Seattle to open the season in Week 1.

Late-year games between the Eagles and Cowboys seemingly always carry great import, and this year figures to be no exception. This is one of the most stacked weeks of the season, with awesome games throughout the weekend. Any time you get to watch Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey against the GOAT, plus Todd Bowles scheming against Sean McVay, you're going to want to make sure you're available. This matchup pits what should be two of the strongest rushing attacks in the league against each other, so if you like the ground and pound game, you'll want to tune in. The Bills and Chiefs played two fascinating games last season, and most NFL fans are still waiting for Josh Allen to get his chance to answer that last Patrick Mahomes touchdown pass to Travis Kelce from the divisional round. One of the best games of last season gets run back in Week 5. Yes, the Bucs really do host Aaron Rodgers one week and then Patrick Mahomes the next. (Hopefully.) These are two of the top contenders in the NFC, so it should be a game that is both very fun and very important. (Note: We tried to limit the usage of each team so that they appear four times, at most. We'll have already seen the new-look Packers offense without Davante Adams for a couple weeks before this game, so they'll have had time to get in a rhythm. At the end of it all, we'll have crowned a champion.

They have high expectations with rookie coach Mike McDaniel after an aggressive offseason of major offensive improvements, led by the blockbuster trade for Tyreek Hill to pair with Tua Tagovailoa. The most difficult two-game stretch is back-to-back on the road at New England and Las Vegas (Weeks 9 and 10), but the rest is rather manageable for Indianapolis to do better than the 9 wins from 2021. Consider the Titans get the Bills, Bengals and Packers in those games instead. For the first time, Cincinnati hosts Pittsburgh in the opener and has to turn around to travel to Dallas in Week 2. The Ravens' three unique games from the rest of the division are against the Giants, Jaguars and Broncos. the Cardinals, the Buccaneers at home and the Raiders in Las Vegas. Double-digit wins won't come easy for either the Rams or 49ers. Their first two road games are in Arizona and San Francisco, ahead of drawing the Cowboys in Week 5. NFC West teams also need to play the Buccaneers and the rest of the NFC South. The Cardinals also have it pretty bad and the Seahawks don't have it that much better because of that NFC West vs. Coming out of the bye, the Chiefs face the Titans at home in Week 9. Playing at the Buccaneers in Week 3 and at the Bills in Week 8 are their toughest games, and both come in the first half around plenty of favorable action. The crossover play between the loaded AFC and NFC Wests presents an immediate extra challenge for all eight teams involved.

In 2022, the NFL will hold the London games at two venues. In the vast majority of cases, teams playing in London will have a bye scheduled for the following week. London has served as the host for 30 NFL regular-season games since the International Series debuted in 2007 and, country to popular belief, the Jacksonville Jaguars have not appeared in all of them.

Why the Seahawks, Browns, Cardinals, Cowboys, Saints and Cowboys have a right to complain.

The Cowboys are tied for the easiest strength of schedule in the NFL this coming year, which means we have no obligation to feel sorry for them. Yes, Phoenix to Mexico City is only about a 3 ½-hour flight, but it’s a trip into unforgiving terrain, elevated 2,000 feet higher above sea level than Denver. Also, according to rest metrics provided by NFL Stats and Information, the Cardinals have one of the least advantageous rest to short rest breakdowns in the league this year. The Packers’ schedule is also notably backloaded, and features a season-ending game against the Lions, which may be significant given Detroit’s emergence as a trendy playoff pick this year. If you were a player who enjoys prime time, or a coach on the Browns’ staff hoping the additional television time would aid in your candidacy for a head-coaching opportunity in 2023, it is unfortunate to have just one network prime-time game and one streaming prime-time opportunity in 2022. It’s worth pointing out that the preseason strength of schedule tells us next to nothing about an upcoming season if the out-of-conference games are layered in a somewhat difficult fashion. It’s Patriots, Broncos and Buccaneers. Best of luck to Kliff Kingsbury and Co., who came into this season knowing they would have the second-toughest strength of schedule. The Cardinals’ schedule is wickedly front- and back-loaded, with the only identifiable soft spot coming in the late September, early October stretch of the season. There has always been a massive discrepancy between cumulative travel distances for certain teams, like the Raiders in 2018 and ’19, who were so egregiously hosed that the league’s head of broadcasting offered as close to an apology as we’ll ever see from the NFL. The Seahawks will rest a week after Germany before playing the Raiders, Rams, 49ers and Chiefs over five weeks, with a game against the Panthers serving as their only respite. We’re not saying they are hosed, per se, but we are pointing out a clear discrepancy in prime-time games for Cleveland versus other teams that made similarly significant roster moves this offseason. We’ll also dive into what seem to be the politics behind prime-time games and where that leaves certain franchises. To be clear, the Browns opted for this.

Sure, this is all a little silly, but it does give us a bit more fodder to consider as we size up a 2022 season that is still nearly a third of a year away.

They face the Bengals on a Monday night in Week 8. - The Bucs face a challenge between Weeks 10-14. The Pats play Thanksgiving at the Vikingsthen again the following Thursday ( Bills) and the following Monday night ( Cardinals) and then on a Sunday night ( Raiders). Good grief. They host the Bucs andBengals, go to the Giants, host Washington and then travel to the Ramsand Eagles. Smells like 2-4. Perhaps the Jaguars got totally hosed and had ridiculous road trips thrust upon them and play successive teams coming off a bye four weeks in a row. Baltimore battles the entire AFC East in the first four weeks of the season.
