The 2020 NFL schedule kicks off this week with the Houston Texans visiting the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night football. Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson headline an exciting new era, which is back featuring an on-time return.
While just about every other sports league had to radically change its season due t COVID-19, the patience of the largest league seems to have paid off, with the league set to kick off on Thursday, just as it said it would all along.
Most Week 1 games are expected to be played without fans in the stands. The only team insisting to play with a crowd is the Dallas Cowboys. In addition to the sweeping changes, plenty of big name players have opted out of playing.
A new generation of athletes, schemes, philosophies and analytics has made the league even more exciting than ever before, and unexpected turnarounds by teams have made it seem as though any franchise is one move from relevance.
