I’m so excited for NFL Opening Weekend 2023! It’s my favorite time of the year, when all my friends and I gather to watch the big games. This year is bound to be incredible, with some of the best teams in the league battling it out. Over the summer, teams have been preparing for the season, and now we get to see all their hard work pay off.
To kick off the weekend, I’m gearing up to watch the New England Patriots take on the Indianapolis Colts. This rivalry has been around since 1970, with the Patriots leading the series. This year, two of the league’s best quarterbacks, Tom Brady and Andrew Luck, faceoff in what’s sure to be a spectacular match. Plus, with the Patriots having a strong offensive line, it’s sure to be an intense game.
I can’t forget about the New York Giants going up against the Dallas Cowboys either. This rivalry has been going strong for decades and it always produces some epic matchups. It’s a fast-paced game with lots of heart-stopping action. This summer, the Giants got some talented new players, so I’m really looking forward to seeing how they hold up against the Cowboys.
Apart from watching the games, I’m also excited about celebrating with my friends. We like to make a day of it and each picks one of the teams to represent. It’s always fun to see everyone dressed in their team’s colors and cheering them on. Plus, we usually have a BBQ afterwards so we can keep the spirit alive.
On top of the games, I’m also intrigued by the halftime shows. I’m a big fan of music, and the halftime shows are some of the most highly anticipated. Sometimes they feature some of the biggest names in the music industry as well as promising young talent. This year, I heard the opening act will be an unknown but highly promising artist.
Plus, I’m looking forward to the commercials. Everyone knows that companies often save the best ones to air during the opening games. It’s always exciting to see the cutting-edge, futuristic ads which could only have been made for this huge event. It’s a chance for some of the world’s biggest brands to wow their target audiences.
After the opening weekend, the teams will have set the tone for the rest of the season. We’ll analyse the highlights, pray that no injuries have happened and discuss how the teams fared. We’ll also make plans for the next games, and the proverbial rollercoaster ride continues.
Still, it’s great to take it all in on Opening Weekend. As a fan, the weekend symbolizes the start of something special. With the build-up, the enthusiasm of everyone in the stadium, the TV broadcasts, and of course the games themselves, it’s truly a magical experience.
I’ve already got my tickets and I’m looking forward to spending the day with my friends. We’ll belt out the team songs, cheer them on, overanalyze every play and play some silly drinking games. NFL Opening Weekend 2023 is sure to be a blast!
