Default Are the Patriots the first team in NFL history to have 2 home games in 5 days?
I can't remember ANY team ever having 2 consecutive Home games in a 5 day span like New England has this week

Anyone ever seen another team ever have this schedule setup?

If there are any teams that did before, I would assume it was Detroit or Dallas since they play at home every Thanksgiving but otherwise I don't think so

At least they're at home. Between back to back West Coast games and now two games in 5 days, there's a lot of unique challenges on this year's schedule.

Yeah, being home is probably the big saving grace here. If they had a west coast game Thursday I'd be a lot more worried.

I'm more interested to see how Grandpa Favre does on the tiny week.

Funny how I missed all those games - Just thought it was a rare thing but apparently I am wrong - I guess it was rare back when they had no Thursday games except on Thanksgiving

Something I never understood: With thursday night games, why not arrange the schedule so the Thursday teams have their bye the week before? It just seems like it would make more sense.

Games early in the week are ADVANTAGES. Monday night games are the disadvantages. Think about it.

More precisely, you have no advantage or disadvantage vs. the team you play the same day. It's in your NEXT game that you have an advantage or disadvantage, depending on how long you had off.
