Full list of Week 1 games in the 2021 NFL season



The 2021 NFL season is four months away, but on Wednesday, May 12, the NFL started releasing the schedule. The full schedule will be released at 8 p.m. ET, but in the 8 a.m. hour, the league released the schedule for Week 1. ABC, CBS, and FOX all announced the first weekend of football in their morning shows.

The Bucs get the traditional home opener for a Super Bowl champion, and we get a fun one with them. Tampa will host the Cowboys in what should mark Dak Prescott’s first regular season game since fracturing his ankle last season. The injury proved how valuable Prescott is to the Cowboys and expectations will be sky high in his return.

The other two prime time games include Bears at Rams on Sunday Night Football and then Ravens at Raiders on Monday Night Football. One of the best games on the slate will be Sunday afternoon and likely a mostly national game on CBS as the Chiefs host the Browns to open the season. This is a potential playoff preview right out of the gate.

Here’s a full look at the full list of games set for Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL preseason, Week 2: What we learned from Saints' win over Jaguars on Monday night

Image
 Callaway shines early. With the Saints needing a stepped-up presence from their wide receiving corps as they await the expected October return of injured star Michael Thomas, Marquez Callaway is giving it to them. A year ago, he was an anonymous undrafted rookie. Now, he's looking like a key target for this offense. He rang up five catches for 104 yards in the first quarter, including a pair of deep TD catches from 43 and 29 yards. On the first, he even overcame pass interference to make a tough catch. After an impressive preseason opener, coach Sean Payton had apparently seen all he needed to see of Callaway after just a quarter of action. A long season awaits, and it remains to be seen what Callaway's role will be when Thomas returns, but there's little doubt he'll be counted on heavily in September. Hang onto Minshew. Speculation that the Jaguars might be willing to trade quarterback Gardner Minshew if he, as expected, loses the starting QB job to Trevor Lawrence,...

  What is the Pro Football Hall of Fame? The Pro Football Hall of Fame is a museum and attraction that opened in 1963 as the home of all things professional football. The Hall of Fame "pays tribute to the talents and triumphs of pro football's greatest legends," according to its official website, chronicling within its walls "the stories and circumstances of play that bring to life words such as courage, dedication, vision, fair play, integrity and excellence."

The league was founded at a Hupmobile dealership in Canton in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association, which was later renamed the National Football League.

The town was home to the Canton Bulldogs, an early pro football p...

Marcas Grant's 2021 NFL Fantasy Football Sleepers Week 2

Image
 Many things about fantasy football are unpredictable. It's the uncertainty that brings us back to the fake game year after year. If we knew for sure what was going to happen, this wouldn't be as fun. More importantly, I'd be out of a job. So … hooray for chaos!  But not everything about fantasy is so murky. The biggest known heading into Week 1 is that we really didn't know much. We spent plenty of time speculating. The entire offseason was one big fever dream of what we think could happen this year. Alas, what we wish for and what we get are frequently not the same.   In that spirit, we lick our Trey Sermon and Michael Pittman-sized wounds, take stock of what we learned, and try to get better in Week 2. Let's go.  Broncos nation wasn't particularly thrilled with Teddy Bridgewater  being named the starter, but he acquitted himself well in the season opener. This week, the matchup is even more in his favor against a Jaguars defense that made Tyrod Ta...
