The 2021 NFL season opens on Thursday, August 5 with the Hall of Fame Game.
This exhibition game begins the days-long celebration leading up to the enshrinement of the Hall of Fame classes of 2020 and 2021.
The 2020 festivities and game were postponed due to COVID-19 so there is even more excitement for the 2021 Hall of Fame Game.
Played at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, this year’s game pits the Dallas Cowboys against the Pittsburgh Steelers, two NFL franchises that battled often in Super Bowls through the 1970s.
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy put the honor of being a part of the game in perspective.
“It’s the shrine of pro football. The grass smells a little different there. It’s such a cool experience.”
Neither team’s starting quarterback, Dak Prescott (shoulder) or Ben Roethlisberger, will play in the game.
