At this point of the NFL offseason, the schedule is the main concern for many fans. For fans of the New York Giants, they are probably excited. Their team got six primetime games this season. Coming off a positive campaign in 2022, the NFL rewarded the squad in 2023. They actually almost gave them an even more interesting schedule, too. 

According to reports, giving the Giants a seventh nationally-televised game was on the table, but the NFL chose a different route.

Seven games on primetime would have been intriguing for the Giants, but it certainly would have been surprising as well. The Giants will have a whopping four primetime games in the first six weeks of the season. They will be very busy on national television. 

Instead of Giants vs. Eagles, the NFL and Amazon Prime chose the New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins for the first Black Friday game in NFL history.
