NFL schedule coming out Tuesday

Todd Archer

Just received an e-mail from the folks at NFL Network pumping up their coverage of the upcoming schedule release on Tuesday. The scheduled will be announced at 6 p.m. Central

We've been reporting the Cowboys will open up on the road, likely at Denver, and host an NFC East team on NBC on Sept. 20. Jerry Jones said the first two games at his stadium will be primetime affairs, so ESPN will get a crack at a game for "Monday Night Football," and you'd have to think NFL Network will get a Cowboy game from Arlington as well.

In addition to their NFC East rivals in New York, Philadelphia and Washington, the Cowboys will play Atlanta, Carolina, Oakland (on Thanksgiving), San Diego and Seattle at home with trips to Denver, Green Bay, Kansas City, New Orleans and Tampa Bay.
