It’s been announced that the NFL’s 100th season Hall of Fame Game will take place on Aug. 1 at 8 p.m. ET, with the Atlanta Falcons vs. the Denver Broncos. As in recent tradition, this means that during the 2019 preseason, the Falcons will play a total of five games, unlike the typical four.
The teams playing in the Hall of Fame game are usually connected to members entering Canton. This year, the Falcons were likely selected due to tight end Tony Gonzalez and the Broncos due to defensive back Champ Bailey and owner Pat Bowlen.
