The New England Patriots reportedly issued a request to have their away games against the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals come in consecutive weeks this season.
Mike Reiss of ESPN reported the Patriots are hoping to spend an entire week on the West Coast if the games are paired. Those two games are New England's only contests out west this season, so it would make sense to want to give players time to adjust.
Reiss also noted that the NFL allows teams to make special scheduling requests but does not always grant them.
The league is yet to announce when the 2024 schedule will be released, but it's expected to come this month.
