Here are our takeaways quickly:
1) It’s weird to see the Patriots still getting five primetime games in absence of Tom Brady. Four of those games cannot be flexed out because MNF (Jets, Bills) games can’t be flexed and neither can Thursday (Rams). Week 2 against the Seahawks also can’t be moved but the Baltimore game in Novemeber could be moved if the league deemed it not a great game.
2) The sequencing of these games seems pretty beneficial to the Patriots. They have a stretch of three road games in the middle of the year which is tough but the Los Angeles games being back-to-back will allow the team to stay out West and minimize travel.
We’ll have full reaction on Friday during ‘The Huddle.’
