NFL Schedule Release: Buffalo Bills get five national TV games highlighted by Thanksgiving night

The Buffalo Bills will be featured prominently on the national stage in the 2021 NFL season. Buffalo will have a multitude of nationally televised games on strange days and start times, rather than the traditional 1:00 pm Eastern time slot on Sunday.

The highlight of the schedule is a Thanksgiving night showcase against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints, sans Drew Brees, aren’t as big of a draw as the Bills, who drew a humongous rating on Thanksgiving in 2019.

Buffalo will face the Kansas City Chiefs on a Sunday night, Tennessee Titans on Monday night, and New England Patriots on a Monday night in addition to a nationally televised game against the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 4:25 time slot.
