On Saturday, this year's class will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But first, two teams of current NFL players will kick off the 2019 preseason.
The exhibition schedule gets underway Thursday night when the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons face off in this year's Hall of Fame Game, which takes place at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium next to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
The Broncos and Falcons will each play five preseason games because the Hall of Fame Game is an extra contest before the four-week preseason schedule begins.
