Football is back!
By football, I mean a real football game. Albeit, this is only sort of a real football game since it won't count in the standings, but at least it's a semblance of NFL football.
Tonight, the New England Patriots will face off against the Washington Redskins in the preseason opener for both squads following three days of joint practices.
The Patriots aren't expected to play their starters a whole lot tonight, but most of the regulars will likely see one or two series of action. Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald has already reported that quarterback Tom Brady will not start tonight, and that Ryan Mallett will get the starting nod.
