Watch NFL Football Live Online without Cable

NFL FootballNFL football is the professional league of American football. In 2017, the first game will be held on September 7th, at 8:30 pm, EDT. It will between the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs. Since the Patriots are the defending champions, the game will probably be a blowout. They have been one of the strongest teams of the last 15 years.

The league’s founding dates back to 1920. Then, the league consisted of 14 teams. Only 2 of those franchises still exist today. Those are Decatur Staleys (now the Chicago Bears) and the Chicago Cardinals (now the Arizona Cardinals). Today, the league consists 32 teams and has a 17 week schedule.
