Why does the NFL play on a Friday?
NFL games are not usually played on Fridays. The reason for this is the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961. The law was passed, among other things, to protect the television rights for high school and college football, which have local priority on Friday nights.
By law, the NFL cannot play Friday games from the second weekend in September until after the second weekend in December. Because Labor Day was particularly early this year (September 2), this weekend is the first in September.
Has the NFL ever played in Brazil?
No! Today’s game between the Eagles and the Packers is the first in NFL history to be played in Brazil and South America as a whole.
About today’s duel:
This Week 1 clash between the Eagles and Packers is a matchup between two teams that have kickoff weekend history on their side. The Packers have won the most kickoff weekend games in NFL history (59), while Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is one of three active coaches with a perfect Week 1 record (3-0).
The Eagles will play their first game since 2014 without center Jason Kelce, who retired in 2024 after 165 consecutive appearances. Kelce was an integral part of the legendary “Brotherly Shove” game (also known as the “Tush Push”) and the Eagles’ offense will look different without him.
Jordan Love is entering his second full season as the Packers’ QB1; last year he threw for over 4,000 yards and scored the second most passing touchdowns (32) in the league.
