Rejoice, football fanatics, because the 2016 NFL schedule is finally here. And, boy is it juicy, kicking off with a Super Bowl 50 rematch in Denver between the Broncos and Panthers.
The 2015 NFL MVP, Cam Newton, will be looking for revenge, while the world awaits just who the Super Bowl champs will trot out as their Week 1 starter. The game marks the first time the NFL has scheduled a Super Bowl rematch in its Thursday night opener.
The Week 1 schedule also includes a sexy Sunday night game with the Cardinals hosting the Patriots in a "consolation matchup" between the two losers of last season's conference title games.
