NFL Teams With the Most Primetime Games in 2019
The NFL announced the 2019 season schedule on Wednesday, revealing the times, dates and matchups for each team's 16 regular season games.
Each team will play the same number of games, but certain teams are scheduled for more Sunday, Monday and Thursday night games than others. This season, 10 teams have five games slated to take place under primetime lights. The Bears, Cowboys, Chiefs, Steelers, Rams, Eagles, Vikings, Seahawks and Packers also earned five primetime nods.
The pageantry of NFL night games leads the league to try and place the best potential matchups in those time slots—whether that'd be powerhouses like the Patriots, division rivalries or potential postseason showdowns.
Here is a look at the entire schedule of 2019 night games, some of which are subject to change. With the NFL's "flexible scheduling" on Sundays in the second half of the season, teams can play their way onto primetime if they become the best matchup of the Sunday slate.
