The season is scheduled to kick off on Thursday, Sept. 10, with the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Houston Texans. The Sunday night game has the Los Angeles Rams opening their new stadium against the Dallas Cowboys, and the Monday night doubleheader has the Pittsburgh Steelers traveling to the New York Giants, followed by the Tennessee Titans at the Denver Broncos.
Full schedule of teams.
Other than those, the main matchup will be that first Sunday afternoon with the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers going to Louisiana to face the Drew Brees-led New Orleans Saints. This will be the first of two scheduled matchups between Brady and Brees, who are two of the most prolific quarterbacks in league history.
