Football. Is. Back.

Football. Is. Back.
I don’t think there are three words in sports that get more people more excited about what is yet to come.

In a matter of days, 32 teams will take the field for Kickoff Weekend, all of them hoping and dreaming about playing their way to Atlanta and Super Bowl LIII five months from now. Everyone’s got a chance. None of us can wait to go.

There really is nothing like football. The plays that make your jaw drop. The moments that make your heart pound through your chest. The stakes that are always there, through all 17 regular season weeks —when every win or loss could mean the difference between making the playoffs or watching at home.

Last year, in the face of so much adversity, it was the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, fans all around the league can look at their own teams and say – why not us?! And they’re right.

But along the way, to me, the best parts will be the moments that we can all treasure, no matter where we’re from or who we root for. The stories that give the game meaning far beyond the field – that reveal the true character of the players, coaches and also you – the greatest fans in the world. Because it’s through these stories, and in these moments, that football brings us all together, often in awe-inspiring ways.

So, we’re looking forward to another year of the amazing. Another year highlighting incredible stars and indelible performances. Another Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, another Most Valuable Player and of course another massive celebration for the team that hoists the Lombardi Trophy.

Here’s to you, your team and the NFL’s 99th season. It’s time to celebrate.
Football. Is. Back.
