Some notes:

As usual, the games are color-coded based on time: Thursday (the Thanksgiving slate is week 12, with Detroit/Chicago as the early game, Dallas/Washington in the afternoon, and Atlanta/New Orleans at night) games are in light red, Saturday games are in gray, Sunday games at 1PM have no color, Sunday afternoon games are in orange, Sunday night games are in green, and Monday night games are in blue.

There are four international games: in week 6, the Seahawks and Raiders (as the home team) play in London at 1PM Eastern. In weeks 7 and 8, the Titans and Chargers (home team) and then Eagles and Jaguars (home team) play in London at 9:30 AM on the east coast. In week 11, the Chiefs and Rams (home team) play in Mexico City on Monday Night Football. That game is color-coded in blue for Monday Night, but with yellow font for international. Yes, my schedule grid has an easter egg.

There are 17 MNF games. In week 1, the Jets and Lions are the early Monday Night game at 7:10, with the Rams and Raiders kicking off that night at 10:20. There is no Monday Night game in week 17.

There are two Saturday games, both in week 15: the Texans at the Jets and the Browns at the Broncos. No times have been set just yet. In addition, there will be two games on Saturday in week 16, but those will be announced during the season.
