The 2015 NFL regular season kicks off this Thursday night when the New England Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers.
As is tradition, the first game of the new season features the defending Super Bowl champions hosting a team believed to be among the biggest contenders to dethrone the champs. New England is coming off their fourth title under Bill Belichick and with Tom Brady at quarterback and their sixth Super Bowl appearance overall with the coach/QB duo leading the way.
Speaking of, Brady will be playing in this game after previously being suspended for the first four games of 2015 for his role in Deflategate.
