We’re seeing the evolution of the NFL and the power of advertising right before our eyes. The release of the NFL schedule is quickly turning into an event as opposed to a one-day release.
The league announced they would drop a hint related to the schedule’s release every day this week. Last week, we found out that the 49ers will travel to Mexico City on November 21 for a road game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Teams can have up to five prime time games scheduled. That number can go up to six if a game gets flexed and even seven if that happens to be flexed into the prime time season finale.
