The first game of the 2019 NFL preseason is here. The league will kick off its 100th season with the Hall of Fame Game between the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons on Thursday in Canton, Ohio.
The Falcons are 4–12 in the preseason under coach Dan Quinn, but the fourth-year coach hopes to see some promise from the team's Plan D program and 23 rookies, who will receive the bulk of the snaps against the Broncos. Kurt Benkert and Matt Schaub will be battling for the right to backup Matt Ryan while Brian Hill, Qadree Ollison and Tony Brooks-James are all looking to replace Tevin Coleman as the second weapon in Atlanta's backfield.
