In a reminder that the Patriots have fallen to the lower levels of the league, they have just one prime-time game -- a Week 3 Thursday night road trip to face the New York Jets. That could always change later in the year with flex scheduling, of course, but the team doesn't currently have prime-time appeal.

For social media departments of NFL teams, the yearly schedule release has become their Super Bowl. Over the years teams such as the Los Angeles Chargers, the Atlanta Falcons, and the Carolina Panthers — to name a few — have done tremendously creative videos to announce their upcoming slate of games.

We'll finally get to see the road map for Jerod Mayo's first season as head coach of the New England Patriots when the full 2024 NFL schedule is released on Wednesday night.
