Are you ready for some football?
While games on Thursday and Friday were nice appetizers, the real deal begins today with the first Sunday slate of the season. And it’s most certainly a good one.
Across the board, new faces are set to debut in new places. Micah Parsons gets his first introduction to a fierce NFC North rivalry, with the Packers welcoming the stalwart Lions to Lambeau Field. Aaron Rodgers, now of the Steelers, ventures back to MetLife for a rendezvous with his former club, the Jets.
We’ll get our first extended look at some of the league’s top rookies, like No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward, whose Titans take on the Broncos. Two-way phenom Travis Hunter will hope to ignite the Jaguars against the Panthers, whether as a cornerback or a wide receiver.
Don’t forget about the veteran superstars, either. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens head back to Buffalo for the first time since their playoff loss in January with Josh Allen and the Bills waiting in the wings.
The Sporting News has you covered with everything you need to about watching Week 1 action this Sunday, including TV and live stream information for every game.
