College football has finally returned to save our Saturdays, but what about the pros?
The first Thursday night game of the season takes place on September 4 when the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys collide in a Week 1 NFC East showdown. After a special Friday night matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers on YouTube, Sunday Night Football returns with a battle between two Super Bowl hopefuls: Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills and Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens.
The first week of the NFL season concludes when the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears meet for a little Monday Night Football action.
