The NFL 2019 season kicks off Thursday night!
Okay, that’s not exactly true. The 2019 preseason kicks off Thursday, as the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons face off for the annual Hall of Fame Game. It may not be “real” football, and you’ll probably turn it off after the first quarter or some of you brave souls will make it to halftime, but it represents the return of football, and that’s all that matters.
If you’re a Detroit Lions fan, the only real personal intrigue this game offers is the Broncos—Detroit’s Week 16 opponent.
