NFL Kickoff

Matt Roush says...

A sure sign that the summer TV season is over: the return of pro football to the primetime schedule. This year’s kickoff game is airing on Wednesday for only the second time in its quarter-century history to accommodate Thursday’s first-ever NFL game in Australia (streaming on Netflix). The game will feel like déjà vu to sports fans, a rematch of this year’s Super Bowl LX, pitting Sam Darnold and the championship Seattle Seahawks against Drake Maye and the New England Patriots. An NFL Kickoff Special begins at 7 pm/ET from Seattle’s Lumen Field, where a special halftime performance features Seattle’s own Soundgarden joined by Taylor Momsen and Pearl Jam‘s Mike McCready.
