NFL 2017 Preseason – Week 1

Kirill | 2017-08-10 |

Brace Yourselves! The Preseason is here! The long summer break is finally over and football fields across the US are ready to receive NFL athletes once again. Both the players and the fans are hungry for football action and drama. Let’s take a brief look at what to expect in the upcoming four weeks of preseason football.

Seven Preseason Games

Day 2 of the NFL 2017 Preseason will let us enjoy seven exciting games. Last season’s runner-up, the Atlanta Falcons, meet the Dolphins in Miami. The Minnesota Vikings are playing the Bills.

The Ravens will host the Redskins in Baltimore and try to show us signs of major improvement in their overall performance. Super Bowl LI champions New England Patriots are going face to face against the unimpressive, but renewed during the offseason team of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Some Exciting Games Are Coming Up

Eagles vs Packers will be a real show, judging by the playoff potential of both teams. The Saints are visiting Cleveland in an attempt to end the talks about the Browns being on the rise. And for the last game of the day the Broncos play the Bears in Chicago.

The question here is are we going to see the Bears’ new QB Mitchell Trubisky in play? Will the rookie impress? We’ll get the answers this Thursday.

11/08/17 – Steelers vs Giants

This game is going to be a great show. Both teams are equally strong at the moment and both have been relatively quiet during the offseason.

The Steelers will probably explore new ways to play around their winning trio – Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown. The Giants on the other hand, are testing the offensive line. If they are able to provide enough time for Eli Manning to connect with his receivers, Odell Beckam Jr. and his WR mates will do the rest.

Despite the experimentation that will be involved, we expect a tough, exciting and close game.

12-13/08/17 NFL Preseason Games

The weekend comes with 5 matches. Not much competitiveness here but totally worth watching. It’s a chance for Oakland Raiders’ Derek Carr to show us he’s off the injured list and ready to lead his squad.

The Seahawks have some new additions to their “Legion of Boom” defense.

We also expect the Cardinals to at least hint about their current form because this year the team will either collapse or reach the top of the Conference.

Here are all the games for the weekend:

Tennesee Titans vs New York Jets

Dallas Cowboys vs Los Angeles Rams

Oakland Raiders vs Arizona Cardinals

Detroit Lions vs Indianapolis Colts

Seattle Seahawks vs Los Angeles Chargers
