The NFL won’t have any Christmas Day games this season since Christmas falls on a Tuesday, but it does have a Christmas Eve game.
The Monday night game in Week 16 is a dandy.
The Raiders will host the Broncos, which should draw a lot of eyes with Jon Gruden’s team playing on Monday Night Football. The Raiders also open the season with a Monday night game, hosting the Rams.
The schedule release confirmed what we already knew about Thanksgiving:
The Lions host the Bears in the early Thanksgiving Day game, with kickoff set for 12:30 p.m. ET.
The Cowboys host Washington in the late afternoon Thanksgiving Day game, with kickoff set for 4:30 p.m. ET.
The Saints host the Falcons in the Thanksgiving night game, with kickoff set for 8:20 p.m. ET.
