The 2013 NFL regular-season schedule was announced on Thursday night. Each team now knows when they play each opponent and whether or not they have any marquee games. One game that could be considered prime-time is Thursday Night Football, though it's not quite as special since every team gets one.

Each Thursday Night Football game will be broadcast nationally on NFL Network and the games will be played from Week 2 through Week 17. Thursday night games can be tough due to the fact teams are coming off a short week of rest. However, a few teams have excelled on Thursday night, including the Colts, Packers and Seahawks, who are all undefeated on the night. There are several teams that have the opposite luck on Thursday's, though. The Vikings, Saints, Jaguars and Panthers have all yet to win a Thursday Night Football game.

Here's the 2013 Thursday Night Football schedule:

Week 2: New York Jets at New England Patriots

Week 3: Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles

Week 4: San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams

Week 5: Buffalo Bills at Cleveland Browns

Week 6: New York Giants at Chicago Bears

Week 7: Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals

Week 8: Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week 9: Oct. 31, 2013 - Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins (Halloween game)

Week 10: Washington Redskins at Minnesota Vikings
