The NFL season opens tonight in Denver but the Patriots and Cardinals will have to wait a few more days to get things kicked off. ESPNBoston.com thinks Sunday night’s showdown could be a Super Bowl preview.
Linebacker Dont'a Hightower was named one of the team’s four captains and he was happy to take the torch from the retired Jerod Mayo.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians believes his team will have to be ready for everything Sunday night. Arizona quarterback Carson Palmer said if you break the rules you have to expect to suffer the consequences.
When it comes to the Patriots, the hate is real and so is the team says Dan Shaughnessy.
The Patriots made some moves on their practice squad. Jimmy Garoppolo says the operation has been smoother with Brady out of the picture. Meanwhile Rob Gronkowski was limited at practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.
In Arizona, they're not expecting an easier time on defense just because Brady isn't playing. Also, azcardinals.com is revisiting the **Chandler Jones** trade.
