The 2019 season kicks off on Thursday, Sept. 10, at 8:20 p.m. ET, with the defending Super Bowl champion hosting the .2.The Texans will take the field without , who was traded this offseason (along with a fourth-round pick) to the for , a second-round pick, and a 2021 fourth-round pick.3. The Chiefs used their first-round pick on LSU running back , who is now the highest-drafted running back in Andy Reid's coaching career.

It seems likely that 2019 fourth-round pick , who went 2 of 4 for 14 yards and an interception last season, will get first crack at the job.5. Brady, of course, landed in Tampa, where he'll be joined by former Patriots teammate , who is returning to the NFL after a one-year retirement sabbatical.6. In a weird quirk of history, the could become the first-ever NFL team to run the "Bird Gauntlet." Dallas plays against all five teams with bird-related nicknames: the , , Cardinals, , and . No NFL team has ever played and defeated all five of those teams in the same season.  7.Here's a quick fact about each of those five teams...

Returning this year after mi sing the entire 2019 season due to injury: wide receiver A.J. Green.  13. In addition to Green, the Bengals supplied No. 1 overall pick with another young wide receiver: No. 33 overall pick . They'll also get their 2019 first-rounder pick, tackle , on the field for the first time after he mi sed last season with an injury.14. The 2021 NFL Draft is taking place in Cleveland. The 2022 draft will be held in Las Vegas (as a makeup for the city not being able to hold the 2020 draft due to the coronavirus pandemic) and the 2023 draft is headed to Kansas City.15. A whole bunch of players who had spent their entire career in one place are with new teams this year, including but not limited to Brady and Rob Gronkowski, ( ), (Seahawks), (Cowboys), ( ), ( ), Wolfe (Ravens), and (Colts).  16. Also with a new team: , who was cut by the in order to create salary cap space. Gurley landed with the Falcons, where he'll take over for the also-cut , who has yet to find a new team but is a rumored target Caris LeVert Jersey  of the Eagles, among others.17.  running back is back for his 16th NFL season, sitting 1,379 yards behind Walter Payton for second place on the all-time rushing list. Interestingly, Gore and the Jets will also play against every single other team he has previously played for during his NFL career.18. quarterback , who already owns the NFL's all-time completions record, is only 133 completed pa ses away from reaching 7,000 for his career. Brees is also 2,584 yards away from becoming the first quarterback to reach 80,000 and three touchdowns away from becoming the first quarterback with 550 pa sing scores.  19.The tight end position saw significant change this offseason.

This year's Thanksgiving slate: Texans at , Washington at Cowboys, and Ravens at Steelers.21. There will also be an NFL game on Christmas this year: the visit the Saints in a rematch of what has been one of the more hotly-contested playoff battles in two of the past three seasons.  22.Speaking of the Saints: they gave versatile offensive weapon a huge contract, and are pretty much all-in on this season after trading up three different times in the draft and signing and as well.23.The NFL  for the 2020 season, but the proposed onside kick alternative was not one of them. Instead, the NFL addre sed the replay system, defensele s players, and game-clock manipulation.24. The Vikings have had one of the NFL's best defenses for a while now, but they'll return in 2020 having undergone significant turnover: none of Xavier Rhodes, , , , or will be back in Minnesota this season.  25. If you're wondering when the rematch of Helmet-Gate takes place: and the Browns play against the Steelers in Week 6 and Week 17, with the first of those games taking place in Pittsburgh.26.Players potentially returning from suspension include Garrett, Cowboys edge rushers and , free-agent wide receiver (if reinstated), and free-agent linebacker , among others.27.

Former Carolina Panthers quarterback is still unsigned, though he is coming off a major injury for the second consecutive offseason.30. Former and quarterbacks and , the No. 1 and 2 overall picks in the 2015 NFL Draft, did not last beyond the fifth-year option with their original teams. Winston signed with the division rival New Orleans Saints to back up Drew Brees, while Mariota signed with the Las Vegas Raiders to back up .31.The Rams moved on from one of the greatest defensive minds in NFL history Landry Shamet Jersey , Wade Phillips, and hired former Bears and outside linebackers coach Brandon Staley as their new defensive coordinator.32.The Packers drafted  the player they view as ' eventually succe sor  several years before Rodgers is ready to hand up his spikes, just as they drafted Rodgers several years before Brett Favre felt he was done.33. Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia (a former defensive coordinator with the Patriots) signed a couple former Patriots this offseason (again): defensive tackle and linebacker . He also traded for safety . coach Brian Flores, also a former defensive coordinator in New England, brought in linebackers and , plus center . 34. Seven different NFL teams made at least a tweak to their , while the Rams, Falcons, Bucs, Browns, and Chargers debuted all-new looks.35. The Texans handed out a monster contract to left tackle , making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL. Star quarterback is also now eligible for a contract extension.36.Several rookie running backs look like they will be in position to contribute right away this season, including Edwards-Helaire (Chiefs), (Colts), (Lions), (Rams), and J.K. Dobbins (Ravens).37. Speaking of rookies: former Ohio State teammates and Jeffrey Okudah, the No. 2 and 3 overall picks in the 2020 draft, will be on the same field again in Week 10, when Washington travels to Detroit to take on the Lions.38.

Green, Broncos safety , Jaguars edge rusher , Chiefs defensive lineman , Chargers tight end , Vikings safety , Patriots guard , defensive tackle , Steelers edge rusher , Buccaneers edge rusher , Titans running back , and Washington guard .40.While two running backs were franchise-tagged this offseason, another received a mammoth contract extension. got a four-year, $64 million bump from the Panthers after his record-setting 2019 season.41.Not awarded an extension: , taken by the Jaguars with the No. 4 overall pick in the same draft. That one's not looking great, folks.42. Speaking of draft picks that don't look great: the Bears brought in to "compete" with for the starting quarterback job. Not that we need to remind Bears fans, but Chicago traded up one spot to land Trubisky at No. 2 overall in the same draft where Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes were drafted later on.43. The first-ever home game for the Las Vegas Raiders will be in Week 2, on Monday Night Football, against the Saints. 44. The Rams will open their new stadium in LA by playing host to the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 1.

No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow and the Bengals have games scheduled against five other top-10 picks: Week 1 against the Chargers and No. 6 pick ), Week 4 against the Jaguars and No. 9 pick C.J. Henderson, Week 11 against Washington and No. 2 pick Chase Young, Week 12 against the Giants and No. 4 pick , and Week 13 against the Dolphins and No. 5 pick .46.It's also po sible we could see Tagovailoa and Herbert on the same field when the Chargers and Dolphins square off in Week 7.47. After he mi sed almost all of last season due to injury, Denver Broncos edge rusher should be back on the field in 2020, forming one of the NFL's best pa s-rush duos alongside .48.

The Patriots have won the AFC East every year since 2009, and in 17 of the past 19 seasons. The Patriots are narrow favorites to win the division in 2020, checking in at +120 at William Hill. The are right behind them at +130.52. The Bills added yet another piece to their offense this offseason, hoping to help quarterback take the next step: former Vikings wide receiver , who was acquired in exchange for Buffalo's first-round pick. That selection was used to select Diggs' replacement: LSU wideout .53. The Colts have the  for the 2020 season, when determining schedule strength by the team's projected win-lo s records in Las Vegas.54. The Falcons have the most difficult schedule by the same measurement.55.The following players remain free agents: Cam Newton, , , , , Ron Leary, , , Everson Griffen, , , , , , , , , , , , , , . And they're not alone.56. Among the 10 players with the highest cap hits for the 2020 season, two of them play for the Rams. is an obvious (and deserved) one, but there's also Jared Goff.57. The Colts, meanwhile, have allocated more than $46 million to the quarterback position this season, between Philip Rivers ($25 million) and ($21.375 million).58.The Chargers, already armed with some of the best defensive personnel in football, added two more intriguing pieces this offseason: former Broncos cornerback and Oklahoma linebacker .59. The 2021 quarterback draft cla s is supposed to be pretty awesome: There's Clemson's Trevor Lawrence and Ohio State's Justin Fields, but also North Dakota State's Trey Lance, Georgia's Jamie Newman, Stanford's K.J. Costello, Minnesota's Tanner Morgan, and more.60. The star-studded 2021 receiver cla s took a hit, though, when Clemson coach Dabo Swinney announced that wideout Justyn Ro s will undergo surgery and mi s the entire 2020 season with a spinal fusion i sue.61.The two largest contracts signed this offseason by players who actually reached free agency were handed to (five years, $82.5 million) and (five years, $70 million), both of whom played the 2019 campaign for the Cowboys.62.

The Panthers, meanwhile, used all seven of their draft picks on defensive players, starting with former Auburn defensive tackle at No. 7 overall.67.After hiring Kevin Stefanski,  Jarrett Allen Jersey the Browns appeared to consciously model his former team (the Vikings), signing to upgrade their run game and bringing in Austin Hooper so they could have him run more two-tight end sets alongside . has seen his most succe s out of two-tight sets in each of his first two seasons.68. It is, of course, entirely within the realm of po sibility that some or all of the 256 games scheduled to be played this season will take place without fans in the building, or with socially-distanced fans filling the stadium to le s-than-full capacity.69.Every Week 2 game is scheduled so that the two teams playing against each other have the same bye week, in case the league has to delay the beginning of the season due to the pandemic. 70.

The used by the league this season will be a bit different than it was last year: the color has been slightly modified and the NFL shield is no longer gold in honor of the league's 100th season.79.No team will spend more on its offensive line this season than the Raiders, who have allocated nearly $60 million to the big boys up front. They're paying their O-Line $8 million more than the next-closest NFL team.80. enters a season as his team's starter for the first time since 2015.

The No. 1 seed will play in the divisional round against the lowest-seeded team remaining in the playoffs, while the other two advancing teams will play against each other.89.Thanks to a quirk in the schedule, the Jets and Dolphins will play each other in consecutive games.
