2007 NFL REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE TO BE ANNOUNCED APRIL 19

The National Football League will announce the 2007 schedule for all clubs, including the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, April 19.

The NFL announced the Falcons will play host to a pair of AFC North teams at home in preseason, including a nationally-televised game vs. Cincinnati as part of the league's preseason schedule.

The game against the Bengals on Monday, August 27 will be a nationally-televised game on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET -- part of 11 national TV preseason games announced by the NFL.

Later that week, the Falcons will host the Baltimore Ravens (weekend of August 31-September 2) in the preseason finale for both clubs in the Georgia Dome.

Atlanta will be in a New York state of mind in the preseason's first two weeks as the club will travel to the N.Y. Jets for the first contest of the Bobby Petrino era (weekend of August 9-13) and follow that up with a trip to Buffalo (weekend of August 16-20).

The dates and times of the other three Falcons preseason games will be announced later in the spring.
