NFL 2024 schedule comes out this week, but we already know who the Chiefs will play
What many thought might happen last week will actually happen this week.
Welcome to NFL 2024 schedule release week, sports fans!
The big day will be Wednesday (8 p.m. ET) but we already know the season opener: The Kansas City Chiefs will kick off their quest for an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl by hosting the Baltimore Ravens on on Sept. 5.
This season's NFL schedule is coming out a bit later than expected, probably due to its complexity. In addition to the normal "Thursday Night Football," "Sunday Night Football," "Monday Night Football" and International Series games, the Black Friday game will return and there'll be a Friday game for Week 1 in Brazil. There will be games on Christmas Day, which lands on a Wednesday this year. And, what does that mean for the teams that will be involved on the Dec. 25 games?
As per usual, Paste BN Sports will provide full coverage of the NFL schedule release. But, we've already started looking ahead to some potential matchups (we already know who's playing who and where, we just don't know the when and how).

Patriots coach offers frank assessment of No. 3 overall pick
The New England Patriots' latest attempt to follow up the historic career of Tom Brady comes in the form of Drake Maye, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft and the third quarterback selected in the first round. Well, first impressions matter − even for highly touted draft picks at rookie minicamps − and it seems the rookie quarterback has a long way to go in his transition to the NFL, according to the Patriots' first-year head coach Jerod Mayo.
