Good Thursday morning, BBN! America’s favorite sport officially returns today, as the NFL’s regular season kicks off with a Thursday night rematch of last year’s Super Bowl. The Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos will square off in Denver tonight at 8:30 ET.
It’ll be great to see a rematch of last year’s Super Bowl, although it’ll be far from the same game since one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time won’t be under center for the Broncos. Nonetheless, it’s the start of meaningful NFL games, and it’s followed up by a full slate of NFL action on Sunday, and then the first Monday night game of the season between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Washington Redskins.
