After an impressive start to the NFL season, with the New England Patriots coming out to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers with a score of 28 – 21, the rest of the NFL team are anxiously waiting for game day.
We will look at the top match-ups for the start of the 2015 – 2016 NFL Season. So many stories are waiting to unfold and the best way to start it off is by dominating Week One!
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ ATLANTA FALCONS
Mon, Sep 14 6:10 PM CST on ESPN
Both teams are looking to bounce back after an underwhelming season last year. All eyes will be on Eagles coach Chip Kelly’s two new weapons in QB Sam Bradford and RB DeMarco Murray. While Murray is a proven All-Pro running back reaching 1845 yards last season, Bradford will have to come out strong after several injury plagued seasons in St. Louis. For the Falcons its looking to be a redemption year for QB Matt Ryan and company. With a solid playoff contending squad the last few season, the dirty birds underwhelmed fans with a 6 – 10 record. This is a make or break season for Atlanta, if results are the same as last season look out for serious changes come 2016.
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ BUFFALO BILLS
Sun, Sep 13 12:00 PM CST on CBS
Its an offensive juggernaut going up against the top defense in the league. QB Andrew Luck is sure to have a monster season with the Colts with the addition of WR Andre Johnson, RB Frank Gore, and not to mention another promising season by standout T.Y. Hilton. The Bills finished with a winning season of 9-7, their first winning season since 2004. With their impressive defense and the addition of WR Sammy Watkins to their offense we are looking at the most promising team of the NFL Season. Don’t be surprised if the Bills come out with the upset!
TENNESSEE TITANS @ TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Sun, Sep 13 3:25 PM EDT on CBS
We don’t know what to expect from both teams just yet, but this game is still something to behold in Week 1. This type of match-up only happens once so often, with picks number one and two in the 2015 NFL Draft going against each other in the beginning of their NFL careers. QB’s Marcus Marriota and Jameis Winston were both predicted to go top in the draft. Its the perfect game to showcase who is the better quarterback in this years draft.
