Watch: Jaguars Drop 'Scripted' Schedule Release Video
USA TODAY Sports

Football is easy. Acting is hard. 

So says the Jacksonville Jaguars in their 2023 regular season release video, with the Jaguars cleverly playing on the "NFL is scripted" jokes from a year prior. 

From Andrew Wingard serving as Trevor Lawrence's stunt double to specialists serving as writers/actors to Shad Khan's own involvement, this year's Jaguars schedule release video is one you won't want to miss.

The Jaguars' 2023 schedule can be found here.

 Jacksonville will play in three prime-time games this season, the most regular season prime-time matchups the team has had since 2011. It will be the first time since 2008 the Jaguars have played a game on Thursday Night Football, Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football in the same season.

In Week 7, the Jaguars will travel to New Orleans for the first time since 2015 to take on the Saints on Thursday Night Football. Jacksonville has played New Orleans once in prime-time and defeated the Saints, 41-23, in 1999. Head Coach Doug Pederson is 7-0 in Thursday Night Football games, including 1-0 with the Jaguars.

The Jaguars will host the Bengals on Monday Night Football in Week 13, marking the team’s first Monday Night Football contest since 2011. Jacksonville is 8-7 in Monday Night Football games in team history, including 7-4 at home, while Head Coach Doug Pederson is 5-2 on Monday Night Football.

After traveling the third-most regular season miles of any NFL team at 25,534 miles in 2022, the Jaguars will travel just 16,854 miles in 2023. Jacksonville ranks 20th in the NFL in terms of miles traveled this season. The team’s longest trip will once again be the trip over the pond to London, which will be 4,250 miles.

The Jaguars will play back-to-back road games just once in the 2023 season, Weeks 7 and 8 (at New Orleans and at Pittsburgh).
