Jets-Giants could play on 9/11

The NFL will announce the 2011 regular-season schedule tonight amid speculation the league will mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11 by having the Jets play host to the Giants on Sept. 11 on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.”

The schedule is contingent, of course, on the owners and players resolving the lockout in time. The tentative lineup will be revealed at 7 tonight on the NFL Network and the league’s website.

The NFL confirmed one game yesterday, announcing the Bears will face the Buccaneers in London on Oct. 23. That game will be played in Tampa if the lockout isn’t resolved by Aug. 1.

As well as scheduling Giants-Jets in prime time on Sept. 11 at New Meadowlands Stadium, there is strong speculation the defending-champion Packers will play host to the rival Bears in a rematch of the NFC title game on Sept. 8 in the annual Thursday opener.
