The NFL schedule was released Thursday night and the Atlanta Falcons schedule only includes two primetime night games this upcoming season against the Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers.
While fans might be upset about the lack of prime-time games, however, this is a blessing in disguise for the Falcons.
During the 2016 NFL season when the Atlanta Falcons went to the Super Bowl, they only played in two-night games; Monday Night Football against the Saints in New Orleans and Thursday Night Football against the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay.
