Monday night home game to start the season for the Raiders, against the Broncos. Yep that’s going to set the tone for the year.
Full Weekly schedule here.
The NFL announced Tuesday its 17-week, 256-game regular-season schedule for 2008, which kicks off on Thursday night, Sept. 4 and concludes on Sunday, Dec. 28.
The season begins with the NFL’s annual Thursday primetime kickoff game. This year the opener on Sept. 4 on NBC (7 p.m. ET) features the Super Bowl XLII champion New York Giants at home against the NFC East Division-rival Washington Redskins.
Super Bowl XLIII — concluding the season-long theme of “Believe In Now” — will be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on February 1, 2009.
Two of the highlights in a season sure to have many will come in late October and early December when the NFL continues its international series of regular-season games. On Oct. 26 at Wembley Stadium in London, England, the New Orleans Saints will host the San Diego Chargers. Last Oct. 28, the eventual Super Bowl-champion Giants defeated the Miami Dolphins 13-10 at a sold-out Wembley (81,176) in the NFL’s first regular-season game overseas. Then on Dec. 7, the NFL will venture north to Canada when the Buffalo Bills host the Dolphins in Toronto at the Rogers Centre.
