The 2017 NFL preseason schedule – along with 8 nationally televised games – was announced today. 65 games in all will take place between August 3 and September 1.
The NFL Network will show both live games and replays to fill that gaping football void left in your pigskin-coated heart since Super Bowl LI came to a dramatic close.
The 2017 NFL preseason schedule gets going with the traditional Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. This year's version pits the Tony Romo-less Dallas Cowboys against the Arizona Cardinals. (Didn't this thing used to be the NFC versus AFC Hall of Fame Game?)

Expect much more scoring than last year's affair, which featured field paint so rock solid and unsafe that the affair between Indianapolis and Green Bay was canceled.
