Around SBN: Will Rhymes 'Fine' After Being Hit By Pitch And Fainting

DANA POINT, Calif. -- The Patriots closed the 2008 season on the road against the Buffalo Bills, and they're going to open the 2009 season against the Bills at home on "Monday Night Football."

League sources confirmed the Patriots' opener, which will mark the return of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and the Buffalo debut of wide receiver Terrell Owens in a matchup that pits two old rivals from the American Football League, which will have its 50th anniversary commemorated by the NFL this season.

The 7 p.m. game is expected to take place on Sept. 14; an official announcement will be made later today at the NFL's owners' meetings by Commissioner Roger Goodell. Besides the Brady-T.O. intrigue, the Patriots will also be helping "Monday Night Football" celebrate its 40th anniversary.

It's possible that both teams could don throwback jerseys for the game.

There might not be much to see if the Bills can’t get their offensive line fixed up.

Nice opener

Homegame against a not all that scary Bills team. This is a great opportunity to get a good start to the season. Can’t wait for it.

We already know the story line

leading up to the game will be if Tom Brady can play like the Super Bowl QB that he was, and speculation that he can’t.

Keep the faith!

thanks, NFL

nice of them to schedule the Patriots against a team without a pass rush for Brady’s first game back
