Week 1 Sunday!

| 9/11 gear worn in todays games |
There are 13 scheduled games today on this 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. In honor of this day, players were given the go ahead to wear specially designed cleats and gloves. Im expecting many stories today of how players and coaches lives were affected by that terrible day 10 years ago. Should be a pretty emotional day.

| Peterson |
Some news around the league today:
Vikings RB Adrian Peterson signed a mega-deal for 7 years, $100 million. Remember that hes a running back and their careers are generally short. We told you that Chris Johnson of the Titans signed a huge contract for $53.5 million. Well, this one dwarfs it. Everyone will be talking about this today. Also, Steelers safety Troy Polamalu (he of the big hair) signed a large extension as well. The exact details have not been released, but hes expected to make over $9 million a year.

Atlanta Falcons/Chicago Bears (1pm ET, Fox)
Watch Bears QB Jay Cutler (ex-fiance of Kristen Cavallari) play agains the Atlanta Falcon, one of the best teams in the NFC.
Detroit Lions/Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1pm ET, Fox)
Everyone wants to see if the Lions are any good this year. (Usually, theyre not.) Apparently the team is shaping up to be a good one and people are anxious to see if it pans out.
Pittsburgh Steelers/Baltimore Ravens (1pm ET, CBS)
These are two AFC powerhouse teams with a lot of talent. Watch for Troy Polamalu and his huge hair. Should be a good game.
