Here\u2019s what it is telling us:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa There\u2019s not much concern about <b>Patrick Mahomes<\/b> being ready for Week 1<b>,<\/b> with the Chiefs playing their first two games in primetime \u2014 Monday night against the Broncos and Sunday night against the Colts, both at home. Mahomes tore his ACL in December, and the Chiefs signed <b>Justin Fields<\/b> as a safety net, but Chiefs general manager <b>Brett Veach<\/b> recently said Mahomes is \u201cway ahead of schedule\u201d with his rehab.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>\u201cWe didn\u2019t know anything more than you did, but we are certainly hoping Patrick would be back Week 1,\u201d said <b>Hans Schroeder<\/b>, NFL executive vice president, media distribution. \u201cWe went into the year planning to play the Chiefs in the same number of [TV] windows.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>\u25aa Also not much concern that <b>Aaron Rodgers<\/b> hasn\u2019t signed with the Steelers yet, nor that they won\u2019t be as competitive with <b>Mike McCarthy<\/b> replacing <b>Mike Tomlin<\/b>. The Steelers are locked in for the Black Friday game against the Broncos, are scheduled for four other primetime games, and were chosen as the Saints\u2019 opponent for the first game in Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Happy Birthday @JaxsonDart!!! \ud83e\udd73 pic.twitter.com\/q7ALt03qw0<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 New York Giants (@Giants) May 13, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>\u25aa The Giants are expected to be interesting, but not good.With marketable young players in <b>Jaxson Dart<\/b> and <b>Cam Skattebo<\/b>, and a high profile new coach in <b>John Harbaugh<\/b>, the Giants will open the season with two straight primetime games, Sunday night against the Cowboys and Monday night at the Rams. But the Giants, 13-38 the last three years, only have two more primetime games the rest of the season, and one of them (Week 16) can get flexed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa No one cares about putting bad teams on TV anymore. Within the last decade, the NFL removed the rule that each team is guaranteed one national TV game per year. Now, the league and the broadcasters aren\u2019t shy that they don\u2019t want bad teams and bad quarterbacks on their airwaves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Five teams aren\u2019t scheduled to have any primetime games this year \u2014 the Jets, Raiders, Cardinals, Dolphins, and Titans. It\u2019s the Dolphins\u2019 first time with no night games since 2008, and the Jets\u2019 since 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But if one of those teams becomes a surprise contender, \u201cThat\u2019s what flexible scheduling is for,\u201d said <b>Mike North<\/b>, NFL vice president, broadcasting planning.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Seven of the first 11 games on the road, at least five prime-time games, and other thoughts on the Patriots\u2019 2026 schedule<\/div>\n<p><span>\u25aa The NFL wants to dominate your holidays.Italready rules Thanksgiving Thursday with three games, and this year the league scheduled three matchups that should bring monster TV ratings: Bears-Lions, Cowboys-Eagles, and Chiefs-Bills. The league is once again doing a Black Friday game between two large fan bases, the Broncos and Steelers. And the NFL added a Thanksgiving Eve game this year that should draw a big number between the Rams and Packers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The hostile takeover of Christmas from the NBA has also been completed. The league scheduled three big games on Christmas: Bills-Broncos, Packers-Bears, and Rams-Seahawks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa International games are no longer a big deal. The NFL is hosting a record nine of them in 2026, in seven countries on three continents \u2014 London (three games), Madrid, Paris, Munich, Mexico City, Sao Paolo, and Melbourne. Of the 17 teams playing internationally this year (the Jaguars play in London in consecutive weeks), only the Saints, Jaguars, and Patriots are taking a bye after their trip. The other 14 teams are playing a game the next week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI think it\u2019s indicative of how our fans and our teams and our partners are treating these games now,\u201d North said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to call them routine, I know they\u2019re not, but they\u2019re just another NFL game on the schedule.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Patriots to face Lions in Munich on Nov. 15<\/div>\n<p><span>\u25aa The NFL doesn\u2019t believe \u201crest disparity\u201d is real.The Eagles and Chargers each face four opponents coming off their bye week, while the Rams and Raiders each face three. Fourteen teams, including the Patriots, don\u2019t play any teams coming off a bye.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The league used to be hyper cognizant of rest disparity, as teams coming off a bye had about a 20 percent greater chance to win a game against a team that wasn\u2019t coming off a bye. But North said those numbers have \u201cflipped\u201d in recent years. Rules now require players on bye weeks to have at least four consecutive days off, and those teams have struggled to regain their rhythm against opponents that stayed in their routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>North pointed to the 2023 49ers, who had a minus-22 days of rest disparity but still made the Super Bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019ve got a really robust data and analytics team here in the office, and they have been very clear with us that rest disparity is not a thing,\u201d North said. \u201cAnd have been adamant that rest disparity does not impact performance, expected win percentage, expected points scored. You certainly don\u2019t have a competitive advantage when you\u2019re one day, or two day, or three days more well rested. If that data suggests that there\u2019s a \u2018there\u2019 there, we will adjust. But we\u2019ve been very conscious, we\u2019ve been very careful, and we\u2019ve been very connected with our data team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<h5>NEW ENGLAND NUGGETS<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Super Bowl rematch kicks off season<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>A few notes on the Patriots\u2019 schedule:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa The NFL tabbed the Patriots as the Seahawks\u2019 opponent for the Week 1 Kickoff Game, marking the first time since 2016 that the league is opening the season with a Super Bowl rematch (Broncos-Panthers). Schroeder said having that rematch with a powerhouse team such as the Patriots made the most sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe Super Bowl rematch is never going to be more relevant than in Week 1,\u201d Schroeder said. \u201cKickoff\u2019s a really big [TV] window. It\u2019s one of those places where we think we can continue to build the audience higher, and just love the idea of opening the season where we left it last year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Chargers troll Patriots over Mike Vrabel, Dianna Russini, and more in schedule-release video<\/div>\n<p><span>But the salacious drama involving coach <b>Mike Vrabel<\/b> and reporter <b>Dianna Russini<\/b> did not factor into the decision to feature the Patriots, Schroeder said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLook, we focused on the football game and the rematch of the Super Bowl, and that alone is an incredible story,\u201d he said. \u201cWe thought that was a really fun way for football fans, and that was our focus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa Week 9 will see the Patriots host the Packers in a 4:25 p.m. national game that Fox and the NFL are billing as \u201cTom Brady\u2019s return.\u201d It will be Brady\u2019s first call of a Patriots game since he began broadcasting for Fox in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa The Patriots will play consecutive games nine time zones apart \u2014 Week 10 in Munich against the Lions, and Week 12 in Los Angeles against the Chargers, with a bye week in between.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa The NFL doesn\u2019t believe in rest disparity, but the Bills will have 10 days of rest before their crucial Week 13 game in Foxborough, with their previous game coming on Thanksgiving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=471\">School nurses tell investigator their warnings went unheeded before Sharon football player\u2019s catastrophic injury<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<h5>ETC.<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Broadcasts all over the place<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>\u25aa Netflix is gobbling up every day but Sunday. The streamer will broadcast the Thursday game in Australia, the Wednesday game before Thanksgiving, the two Friday games on Christmas, and the Saturday game in Week 18.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa The NFL Network was recently bought by ESPN but will still broadcast five international games in 2026 \u2014 the three London games, plus Paris and Madrid, all at 9:30 a.m. The Patriots-Lions game in Munich will be the first European game broadcast on network TV (Fox). NBC will carry the Mexico City game as a regular Sunday Night Football offering, and CBS will broadcast the Brazil game for its 4:25 p.m. matchup in Week 3.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h4>Noteworthy<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying this, but if you\u2019re looking for a surprise team to take a jump in 2026, look to the Browns, coming off a 5-12 season. Their schedule sets up incredibly well \u2014 the Browns travel the second-fewest air miles in 2026, with 15 games in the Eastern time zone and only two in the Central. They only have one primetime game, and they have the NFL\u2019s easiest strength of schedule (.429). That\u2019s the same formula that helped the Patriots jump from 4-13 to 14-3.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>\u2018Everything\u2019 is what Jared Wilson likes about switching from left guard to center in his second season with the Patriots<\/div>\n<p><span>Some other tidbits:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa The Lions play their three division road games in the final four weeks of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa The Panthers and Packers finish the season with four of five games at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa Too bad \u2014 the Raiders and Ravens don\u2019t play this year. Their beef over <b>Maxx Crosby<\/b> will have to remain off the field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa The Vikings and Steelers have become international darlings. The Vikings got London in 2022 and \u203224, Ireland and London last year, and Mexico City this fall. The Steelers got the first game in Dublin last year, and now will play in the first Paris game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa The Seahawks and Rams, arguably the two best teams last year, will square off in Weeks 16 and 18 this year. The Steelers and Ravens and Falcons and Bucs will also meet twice in the final four weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa 49ers coach <b>Kyle Shanahan<\/b> isn\u2019t thrilled about playing in Australia, particularly against a division opponent, and isn\u2019t happy that his team didn\u2019t get a Monday night game in Week 2 (it went to the Rams instead). But San Francisco did get three straight home games after Australia. And a league source said that the 49ers\u2019 reward for accepting Australia was to get the Mexico City home game, which was desired by several teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa Might be a tough year for ticket sales in Arizona. The Cardinals will play five home games in the final seven weeks, when they will likely be eliminated from contention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa Old standbys on the schedule: The Bears and Lions will play for the 21st time on Thanksgiving and fifth time in nine years; the Cowboys and Giants will play in Week 1 for the eighth time in 15 years; the Patriots and Dolphins will play in the regular season finale for the sixth time in 12 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h4>Pet peeve<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>There are only five divisional matchups in Week 1 this year, down from eight last year, but it\u2019s still too many. Week 1 games are wacky \u2014 note the Raiders\u2019 dominant win over the Patriots last year \u2014 and divisional matchups are the most important games on the schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Cowboys-Giants, Broncos-Chiefs, Packers-Vikings, Rams-49ers (in Australia), and Eagles-Commanders will each take place in Week 1, but are far too important to place in the \u201cextended preseason\u201d portion of the schedule. <\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h4>RB devaluation<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Running back has become one of the least valued positions in the NFL over the past two decades due to the high injury risk, the depth of players who can play the position, and how little a running back affects wins and losses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The only teams that should even consider paying a running back are those close to contending. The Giants learned this the hard way, accomplishing almost nothing in six years with <b>Saquon Barkley<\/b>, then watching him win a Super Bowl with the Eagles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cYou don\u2019t want to waste carries on a bad team,\u201d NFL Network draft expert <b>Daniel Jeremiah<\/b> said. \u201cYou want to build it up and drop the running back in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yet three teams expected to be among the NFL\u2019s worst recently made big investments. The Cardinals made <b>Jeremiyah Love<\/b> the No. 3 pick, which comes with a four-year, $53 million deal, fully guaranteed. The Jets gave <b>Breece Hall<\/b> a new three-year, $45 million contract with $29 million guaranteed, and the Dolphins signed <b>De\u2019Von Achane<\/b> to a four-year, $68 million deal with $32 million guaranteed, per reports.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Kevin Byard and Romeo Doubs would welcome acquiring A.J. Brown, and other Patriots thoughts<\/div>\n<p><span>Love was probably the best player in the draft, but the Cardinals appear to be tanking in 2026 and will probably waste his rookie carries on a team that should compete for the No. 1 pick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Jets won three games with Hall last year, and probably won\u2019t win many more this year due to their quarterback situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Dolphins\u2019 contract for Achane is the biggest head-scratcher. They cut or traded every star on the team, wrecked their salary cap, built a historically cheap, no-name roster with 60 minimum-salary players, are clearly tanking for 2027, yet the one guy they pay is \u2026 the running back? Make it make sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Perhaps the Cardinals, Jets, and Dolphins are right to invest in dynamic offensive talent, regardless of position. Or perhaps this is why they haven\u2019t won a playoff game in a combined 50 seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h4>Extra points<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Now that <b>Stefon Diggs\u2019<\/b> legal troubles are behind him, he should have a healthy market for his services. A Maryland native, Diggs\u2019 best fits are with one of the local teams, either the Commanders or Ravens. The Chiefs, Bears, Rams, Falcons, Chargers, and Eagles also could use another veteran receiver. The Patriots don\u2019t appear to have any competition for <b>A.J. Brown<\/b>, but any of the above teams could be a surprise, late entrant into the trade sweepstakes after June 1, and Eagles GM <b>Howie Roseman<\/b> surely would listen \u2026 <b>Lamar Jackson<\/b> is participating in voluntary offseason workouts for the first time since becoming a starter, and the Ravens are letting him know how much they appreciate it. \u201cI think he\u2019s really done a great job being here, learning the new approach of the offense and the terminology,\u201d GM <b>Eric DeCosta<\/b> told 105.7 The Fan. \u201cAnd I think that if anybody has a chance to get their third MVP this year, it\u2019s going to be Lamar Jackson.\u201d \u2026 New Ravens coach <b>Jesse Minter<\/b> has been traveling back to Los Angeles on weekends to be with his wife and children before they move to Baltimore, then taking the red-eye back to be at work on Monday mornings, per The Athletic \u2026 The investment group led by <b>Egon Durban<\/b> is reportedly buying another large chunk of the Raiders at this week\u2019s owners meetings in Orlando, bringing the group\u2019s stake to about 40 percent. <b>Mark Davis<\/b> is still the principal owner but Durban will eventually take over \u2026 <b>Alec Pierce\u2019s<\/b> $114 million contract from the Colts with $60 million guaranteed was eye-popping for a player who has never caught 50 balls or been a No. 1 receiver. It\u2019s even more surprising given Pierce recently had ankle surgery and will be out until training camp. Every other team that considered signing him gave a collective, \u201cPhew.\u201d \u2026 Certainly not ideal to hear that Giants receiver <b>Malik Nabers<\/b> had a second clean-up procedure on his knee after tearing his ACL and meniscus last September. The Giants are reportedly hopeful he can return for Week 1, but that implies a lot of doubt \u2026 <b>Deion Sanders<\/b> is hoping to meet with new Browns coach <b>Todd Monken<\/b> to help him coach his son, <b>Shedeur<\/b>. \u201cThat wasn\u2019t asked of me a year ago. I don\u2019t understand it,\u201d Sanders said on \u201cThe Barbershop with G. Bush\u201d podcast. \u201cDon\u2019t you think you would want to talk to me to ask me what gets him going and what backs him off?\u201d No, most teams would tell the helicopter parent to go away, or simply get rid of a backup quarterback who isn\u2019t worth the headache.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=469\">Host Switzerland beats defending champion United States in hockey world championship opener<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chiefs play their first two games in primetime \u2014 Monday night against the Broncos and Sunday night against the Colts, both at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":474,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
