ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?!
It’s been slow for football since the Super Bowl, but we are now less than five months away from the start of the 2015 NFL season. So who’s playing to kick off the year? The New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers on a Thursday Night Opener (September 10).
You know the league is hyping up the drama for this upcoming year with key matches for the Patriots coming in Week 6 when they play the Indianapolis Colts (a rematch of Deflategate) and Week 12 when they go head-to-head against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.
As far as the Super Bowl runner-ups, the Seattle Seahawks will be get that NFC Championship rematch on Week 2 when they head to Lambeau Field to play the Green Bay Packers. Then, in what used to be a big rivalry, the Seahawks face the deteriorated San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.
Other notable games throughout the season include the Packers retiring Brett Favre‘s jersey on Thanksgiving Day against the Chicago Bears, LeSean McCoy will face the Eagles in Week 14 against the Eagles, and DeMarco Murray will face the Eagles as well on Week 2. You know those last two games will be very personal for the two running backs.
London games:
Jets vs. Dolphins (Week 4)
Bills vs. Jags (Week 7)
Lions vs. Chiefs (Week 8)
