NFL News & Notes: Week 1

This is a return of the Tuesday potpourri article, presented in a different format.

NFL football is back. Fans are back. Fantasy is back.

Seven months of not knowing what to do Sunday when worship time is over (if you partake in such time) comes to an end. SoFi Stadium and Allegiant Stadium finally get live fans for the first time. All these rookies, especially quarterbacks, finally get to show if they can cut it in the big league. For those of you who never thought that 16 games was not enough, this year you get 17, the first time in 43 years that the NFL extended the length of the regular season.
