Due to the absence of several big name stars including running backs Le’Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount and quarterback Tom Brady, the season opener will lack some of the flash and star power that last season’s opener between Green Bay and Seattle possessed but it will still be a can’t miss game nonetheless.
Featuring elite level players from both teams including Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Rob Gronkowski or budding star Jamie Collins, this game offers more to the viewer than Deflategate, it offers a head-to-head featuring two of the AFC powers that could be important come playoff seeding time in January.
