Tonight is the final preseason game for NFL teams, and for about half of the players, it’s the last game they’ll play this season. For some, it’ll be the last game they ever play in the NFL.
So while it may not seem like a big deal to fans who don’t want to watch second-stringers battle for a roster spot or third-stringers try to stay on the team, it’s a very big deal to those players.
And for that reason, I think it’s one of the more fun preseason games to watch - the guys playing are playing for their future, and that’s a lot to put on the line.
