San Diego, California - Every last player…and fan…is ready! The “It-Can’t-Come-Soon-Enough” league returns this week. That means the next four months will be packed with the sizzle and suspense that comes only with the National Football League. And then come the playoffs!

“We feel ready. It’s time to put what we’ve been practicing to work.” - RB Willie Parker, Pittsburgh Steelers.

Everybody is ready for the unique unpredictability of the NFL.

Last year, almost half the games (47 percent) were decided by one score (eight points or less). Seventeen percent were decided by a scoring play in the final two minutes or overtime. And for the 12th consecutive year, at least five teams made the playoffs after missing out the year before.

“I’m prepared and ready to go.” - QB Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons.

All the anticipation that started with the NFL Combine last February, heightened with the NFL Draft in April, and peaked with the opening of training camps in July comes to realization this weekend. The NFL - under the season theme of “Believe In Now” - is back, bigger and bolder than ever.

“We’re definitely ready.” - QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers.
