The New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers are scheduled to play in the NFL's inaugural Black Friday game. The league announced Wednesday the Jets will host the division rival Miami Dolphins on Friday, Nov. 24—the latest win for the team since they acquired the future Hall of Fame quarterback last month. And this will likely be one of several times the Jets will be in front of a national audience, as the squad could get the maximum six primetime games this coming season, according to the New York Post. The league announces the full 2023 NFL schedule on Thursday night. The AFC East matchup will be featured on Amazon, which debuted its Thursday Night Football package for the NFL last season. The e-commerce giant looks at the day-after-Thanksgiving game as an opportunity to serve customers who will be on the platform shopping anyway, and with plenty of eyeballs expected for that game, it should benefit sales for the Seattle-based company. Rodgers has a 3-1 career record against the Dolphins as the star of the Green Bay Packers. Jets fans are showing enthusiasm for the Rodgers acquisition with their wallets, as season ticket sales have increased by 400%.Also ahead of the complete schedule release, the NFL announced that Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will face Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in an AFC Championship Game rematch on New Year’s Eve. The New York Giants will play the reigning NFC conference champions Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on Christmas Day. On top of the holiday games, the league also announced a host of 2023 international games, with the Jacksonville Jaguars leading the way as the first team ever to play in back-to-back games in London (against the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 1 and the Buffalo Bills on Oct. 8). Also, the Baltimore Ravens will face the Tennessee Titans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Oct. 15. And for the first time ever, the NFL is headed to Germany, where the Dolphins will face the Chiefs on Nov. 5 while the Indianapolis Colts play the New England Patriots on Nov. 12, both in Frankfurt.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
