Below is all the game information you will need to know.

Siemian had played in 44 games at Northwestern, starting in just 14, and still managed to make a name for himself as the fourth leading rusher. For USC fans? Not so much (Sorry, Ron Milhorn).
Newton’s 60 minutes of frustration on the field spilled over to his post-game interview when he answered questions with terse, short responses while slumped behind a podium with a hoodie covering most of his face.
Defending champions Denver have been installed as $2.45 underdogs against $1.55 hotpots Carolina in the customary Super Bowl rematch, but the Broncos have captured the bulk of the bets. The Broncos and Falcons both continually threw defenders at Newton and were the only two teams to defeat the Panthers last season. How cool is that? Carolina’s only two losses of the season came at Atlanta in Week 16 of the regular season and against Denver in the Super Bowl.
Ah, finally. After Super Bowl 50 it seemed like this day would never come. The mismatch at quarterback is startling on paper, as Siemian has as many career snaps (one) as Cam Newton has MVP trophies.
With a hairline rib fracture limiting Wentz to just one preseason game, expectations will be limited as he makes the transition to National Football League level, but the same can not be said of Cowboys quarterback Prescott.
Outside of this game, there’s plenty to be excited about across the NFL. I’ve got some great teammates to lean on in the huddle. What about the Cowboys, who will be without Tony Romo due to a broken bone in his back yet again. The injury occurred during the preseason, knocking him out for the entire year. “So I think we’re looking forward to it”. Still, the Panthers have No. 1 receiver Kelvin Benjamin back after he sat out past year with a torn ACL, so there is a legitimate threat in the passing game. He signed the biggest contract ever for a non-quarterback: $114.5 million over six years, including $70 million in guarantees.
In the end though, I will have my eyes glued to the Arizona Cardinals, who might be the most fun team in the entire league.
Former Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson has been tasked with turning around the fortunes of Robert Griffin III and the Cleveland Browns, while long-time assistants Adam Gase and Doug Pederson have earned their head-coaching shots with the Miami Dolphins and the Eagles respectively. That’s a fun team to watch any time, any place, any where.
“Nervous, I’m just nervous”. On Thursday, they’ll start a rookie.
The 11th season of Sunday Night Football starts on Sunday, September 11. I know I will.
