Jets & Giants Get “Jolly” Holiday Games in NFL Schedule Leak
The New York Giants and New York Jets will get a taste of the Holiday season later this year.
The NFL has announced a handful of games from its 272 gauntlet of a schedule and there were many surprises.
One of them was the Jets playing the Miami Dolphins on Black Friday at 3 p.m. There had been rampant speculation that Gang Green would play on Thanksgiving Day against Dallas but instead will spend Turkey Day at home before welcoming in the Fish on the busiest shopping day of the year.

The Jets Dolphins Black Friday game will be broadcast on Amazon; of course, fans in the Tri-State area will get the game on local television as well.
The Giants got an early Christmas gift, as it was confirmed they will play on Christmas Day down in Philadelphia at 4:30. It’s not a prime-time game, but 4:30 on Christmas Day is a terrific time to sit, relax and watch some football after unwrapping presents all morning.

The NFL also announced its international slate. The Jacksonville Jaguars will play two games in London, England this fall. One game against Atlanta Falcons on October 1, and the following week against the Buffalo Bills. The Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens will also play in England on October 15.
The NFL did surprise with some intriguing match-ups for Frankfort, Germany. The Dolphins and Chiefs will tussle in Deutschland on November 5. The New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts will also play in Germany the following week on November 12.
The NFL also announced a huge surprise, the Chiefs and Bengals will not face one another in Week 1, but will see each other in Week 17 on New Year’s Eve. Stunning to say the least.
