A fairly low-key NFL Network schedule will be highlighted by a Thanksgiving night family affair between the 49ers and Ravens.
NFL Network’s eight game NFL slate will begin November 10, as the Raiders face the Chargers. The network will air seven Thursday night games and one Saturday night matchup this season.
With NBC getting the Christmas night game this year, NFL Network has just one holiday game — a Thanksgiving night tilt between Jim Harbaugh‘s 49ers and brother John Harbaugh‘s Ravens.
In each of the past two seasons, NFL Network has aired a Christmas night game.
Though the NFL Network games do not necessarily jump out on first glance, the network will feature several marquee teams, including the Jets (at DEN, 11/17), Eagles (at SEA, 12/1), Cowboys (at TB, 12/17) and Colts (vs. HOU, 12/22).
