I am not the biggest NFL fan, and of course their decision to deny the Dallas Cowboys (insert lifelong fan here) a symbolic gesture on their helmets to the city's fallen police officers, makes for more disdain. However, it is preseason week and the start of some gridiron.
As my friend reminded me today, "preseason doesn't count. Bad rehearsal, good performance. That's the rule in dance and football." I am also reminded that there are scores and outcomes.
So here are some highlights from Preseason Week 1:
Dallas 24 Los Angeles 28
Dolphins 27 Giants 10 (shout out to Dan Thomas)
Lions 30 Steelers 17
Cleveland 11 Packers 17
Tampa Bay 9 Eagles 17
Saints 22 Patriots 34
JAX 13 Jets 17 (come on Jags you had the ball 33:49 - 26:11)
Texans and 49'ers play tonight at 7:00 p.m. ET. San Francisco has dominated this match up in 2013 and 2014, but a year ago the Texans came out on top 23 - 10, but remember this is just a rehearsal for the performance. Happy preseason week 1 NFL fans!
