Notes
- Intra-division opponents are in bold text.
- Networks and times for Sunday games from Weeks 5–17 are subject to change as a result of flexible scheduling.
- As the result of Saturday flexible scheduling during Weeks 15, the date, time, and network for that week's game vs. the Detroit Lions will be finalized at a later date—by no later than four weeks prior to game day.[9]
gollark: Maybe I could make a horrible image generation *DSL*.
gollark: Maybe I could write code in Python to generate SVGs not by hand.
gollark: I *could* just write SVGs by hand.
gollark: The alternative would probably be working out how to use SDL or something and writing it utterly in Nim.
gollark: Meaning that I could do undo/redo quite nicely by representing images as a SVG DOM tree.
