New York (AFP) - The National Football League season will open with the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 10.

New England quarterback Tom Brady will square off against Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in a Thursday night contest to kick off the 2015 season.

That will be followed by 13 Sunday games on September 13, including the New York Giants travelling to Dallas to take on the Cowboys.
