The NFL season is officially HERE, and guess what, Emerald City? It’s kicking off with a Super Bowl rematch right here in Seattle, featuring our champion Seahawks and the New England Patriots! Get ready for some serious seabird chest beating and that undeniable 12th man exuberance that’s all ours, even if Texas A&M licensed it. While we’re revving up for a wild season opener, another team in the league is stuck on the sidelines, waiting. The Denver Broncos won’t even touch the field for a whole ‘nother week!
The League Gets Rolling, Without Some Teams
Man, it’s Week 1 and the action is already flying across the globe! Thursday night saw the NFL’s first international game happening all the way in Australia, with the 49ers battling the Rams. You gotta wonder how the UK fans feel about a big divisional matchup getting exported to Australia when they’re stuck with Jaguars home games forever, right? Then Sunday brings the real explosion of football, with thirteen games lighting up the schedule throughout the day. And yeah, we’re even getting that obligatory Giants and Cowboys showdown, because apparently, someone thinks we need it every single year, no matter how good or, let’s be real, awful those teams might be. It’s probably best we just get that one out of the way early.
Denver’s Long Wait For Answers
Finally, after all that other gridiron chaos, the Broncos will *finally* get their turn on Monday. They’re heading to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs in a rare September battle, a full week after the season officially begins. Broncos fans have been chomping at the bit for the 2026 season ever since Jarett Stidham’s limitations surprised them in that snowy AFC Championship game. Now, they’re itching to see just how lethal that Nix-to-Waddle connection can really be. Will Sean Payton actually keep his hands off Davis Webb’s play sheet? Can their defense even absorb losing free agent John Franklin Myers? And what about Jonathon Cooper’s offseason stupidity? Will that mess with the team’s vibe?
This season is officially here, and while Denver’s game is still a week away, there’s absolutely plenty of football to keep us all tided over until then.
