The 2021-2 Season begins! Tonight is Thurs Night Football with Tampa Bay Bucs vs Dallas Cowboys. Is Dak Prescott fully recovered, or will the Bucs' pass rush make his life miserable? Can the Bucs repeat? Brady was the last one to do it, but that was 'way back in 2003 and 2004. The NFL gave them (and Dallas) the gift of an extra week off this year. Based on the many injuries we saw in all sports last year, that's a strong positive.
A few rule changes - notably, quite a few players have changed jersey #s, so don't assume your fav pro is still wearing the same # as last year, LOL - and hopefully, fewer holding calls will make the games go quicker.
Note also the NFL is pushing fans to start streaming games. Fox/Amazon Prime will carry ONLY 11 of the 19 Thurs Nite games for 2021-2. NFL network will show all 19 games. The full schedule of games is here: 2021-2 Thursday Night Football schedule.
Starting next year (2022 season) Thursday games will be shown ONLY on NFL network and Amazon Prime video streaming. Fox will no longer carry the Thursday games.
This article below is completely free access, and is an entertaining summary of what various sportswriters' "best guesses" are as to who will win the various awards, their respective divisions and eventually, the Super Bowl. It's a bit long, so please access via the link.
