A few international matchups had already been announced.

The NFL is returning to Brazil, this time with a game in Rio de Janeiro in Week 3 between the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys. The league's first two regular-season matchups in South America took place in Sao Paulo each of the past two years.
The NFL's full regular-season schedule releases Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
