Ed Sheeran (L) and Beyonce teamed up for a duet version of Sheeran's song "Perfect."

The Atlanta Falcons' 2018 schedule was revealed Thursday.

Among the highlights are a Week 7 Monday night home game against the N.Y. Giants and two Thursday night games in Week 1 and 12.

Concert stops by Jay-Z and Beyonce and Ed Sheeran forced the NFL to send the Falcons away from home.

Queen Bey and her husband play two shows at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in late August, forcing the Falcons to Jacksonville for a Saturday, Aug. 26, exhibition matchup.

The away game that has analysts "Thinking Out Loud" is a mid-November matchup in Cleveland against the Browns. You can thank Ed Sheeran for that one.

The Falcons aren’t alone, however. Sheeran’s North American tour displaced eight teams from their homes this season.
