Week 2 NFL Discussion

Well, folks, we get to sit around and wait for another prime time game this week, as our Minnesota Vikings will be facing off with the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football, and around here that can, as always, mean only one thing.

Yes, for the second consecutive week, it’s a full-on RED ZONE SUNDAY here at The Daily Norseman, which means we get to sit back and relax with seven hours of (no longer commercial-free) football as we wait around for the truly important game to start.

For those of you who have not been blessed with the Red Zone Channel, here are the maps from the folks at 506 Sports to show you which games are playing in your area. FOX has the double-header for this week.

That’s the schedule for this afternoon in the NFL, folks. As always, we remind you that we will have our first Open Thread for our game this evening approximately half an hour before kickoff at around 6:45 PM Central. We hope to see you here then, but in the meantime enjoy today’s action!
