The Texans will bring a much better offense into Denver than one might have expected when last season ended, as they not only signed Osweiler but also former Dolphins running back Lamar Miller. Oh nothing, just Brock Osweiler's return to Denver. Derek Carr, Amari Cooper, Michael Crabtree, Clive Walford and Latavius Murray trying to score on Eric Berry, Justin Houston, Tamba Hali, Marcus Peters, Dontari Poe and the rest of this crew? Yes, please. Let's go to the AFC West, where we could be looking at a changing of the guard. (CBS)īengals at Patriots? Cowboys at Packers? Nah. Oh, and Green Bay's stable of young corners gets to try to cover Odell Beckham when the other team has the ball. Jason Pierre-Paul, Johnathan Hankins, Damon Harrison and Olivier Vernon will be coming after Aaron Rodgers all night. New York's revamped defensive line goes up against not only one of the NFL's better offensive lines, but also possibly its best quarterback. This game also features two of the NFL's best running backs: Le'Veon Bell and Jamaal Charles with both coming off serious, season-ending knee injuries. What might be the NFL's best offense (Steelers) goes up against a defense that was absolutely on fire over the second half of last season (Chiefs). Both of these defenses were excellent last season, and it should be especially interesting to watch Adrian Peterson against Luke Kuechly, Stefon Diggs against Josh Norman, Greg Olsen against Minnesota's linebackers, and Cam Newton against the Vikings' short-yardage run defense. The Vikes open their brand new stadium against the Packers in Week 2, then get to travel to the NFC champions for a Week 3 bloodbath. Add in a Steelers assistant coach yanking the departed Reggie Nelson's dreadlocks and the divisional hatred these teams have for each other to begin with, and this Week 2 showdown should be a whole lot of fun. Of course, the Steelers-Bengals playoff game last season got a little crazy, as Burfict tried to remove Antonio Brown's head from his body with an incredibly dirty hit. The Vontaze Burfict Game will take place with Vontaze Burfict on the sideline. This is the first time that a Super Bowl rematch opens the regular season. Peyton Manning won't be there, neither will Brock Osweiler, but Von Miller will damn sure be in the house. (NBC) - Thursday Night FootballĬam Newton gets his shot at revenge right away. The NFL ought to upload all 96 games now, and let us binge on classic football from now until the start of training camp.A Super Bowl rematch opens the NFL season. If there’s any complaint we have, it’s this: Why wait until August? July is the slowest month on the NFL calendar. A great 1992 Bills-49ers game that featured Jim Kelly and Steve Young both playing almost flawlessly, for instance, will be a fun one to watch, both for those of us old enough to remember it and for those seeing it for the first time. But the more fun games on the list may turn out to be the ones that have been largely forgotten. The list includes 25 Super Bowls, as well as dozens of other postseason games. The oldest game is Super Bowl III, chosen by Jets fans the newest game is Super Bowl 50, chosen by Broncos fans.
