Has the NFL Season Started?
It’s mid-September and we’re all wondering, has the NFL season started? The answer may surprise you.
Introduction
The National Football League (NFL) regular season typically begins on the last Thursday in August and ends on the first Sunday in February. The 2020 NFL regular season began on September 10, 2020.
What Happened to the 2020 Season?
The 2020 NFL season was the 101st season of the National Football League. The season began on September 10, 2020 with the defending Super Bowl LIV champion Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Houston Texans, and ended with Super Bowl LV on February 7, 2021 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
The season was originally scheduled to begin on Thursday, September 10, 2020, with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Houston Texans. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the NFL anticipates that the vast majority of its games will be played without fans in attendance. In addition, all NFL training camps held prior to the start of the regular season were closed to the public.
How is the 2021 Season Looking?
Now that we are a few weeks into the 2021 NFL season, let’s take a look at how things are stacking up.
As of right now, the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs are looking like the teams to beat. The Packers are off to a 4-0 start, while the Chiefs are 3-0.
The defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 2-2 so far, but they have looked impressive at times. The Los Angeles Rams are also 2-2, but they have yet to really find their groove.
The New Orleans Saints are 1-2, but they could easily be 3-0 if not for some late game heroics by Tom Brady and the Bucs in Week 1.
The New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, and Philadelphia Eagles are all off to disappointing starts, as all three teams are 1-3. However, it is still early in the season and anything can happen.
So far, the 2021 NFL season has been very exciting and we can’t wait to see how things unfold in the coming weeks.
Conclusion
The answer to the question “Has the NFL Season Started?” is that it has not started yet. The NFL season is scheduled to start on September 10th, 2020.
