Every year, I publish a color-coded version of the NFL schedule the night it is released. Tonight is that night.

Some notes:
As usual, the games are color-coded based on time: Thursday (the Thanksgiving slate is week 13, with Detroit/Chicago repeating as the early game, Dallas/Buffalo in the afternoon, and Atlanta/New Orleans repeating at night) games are in light red, 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. In addition, in week 16, three of five possible matchups currently listed as TBD will be scheduled for Saturday. Those games are all in red, with white font.
There are five international games, with four in London. The Bears play “at” Oakland in week 5, Carolina plays “at” Tampa Bay in week 6, the Rams lose a home game to the Bengals in week 8, and the Jaguars “host” the Texans in week 9. In addition, the Chargers and Chiefs will play in Mexico City on Monday Night Football in week 11. That game is color-coded in blue for Monday Night, but with yellow font for international. Yes, my schedule grid has an easter egg.
Enjoy, and let me know if you spot any errors in the comments.
