Week 1 NFL Discussion

Well, folks, it’s officially kickoff Sunday in the National Football League, which means that everyone is revved up and ready to watch their team take the field. . .except for fans of the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears, who don’t get to watch their teams play until Monday night. Around these parts, that can only mean one thing.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s the first official RED ZONE SUNDAY of 2025 here at The Daily Norseman! We can all just sit back, relax, and let the action around the rest of the league unfold in front of us while watching seven (no longer commercial-free) hours of NFL football.
