The NFL is back!
A summer of wheeling and dealing continues in the front offices around the league, but for the players the real work begins now. Last year saw the entire preseason wiped out due to coronavirus concerns, but 2021 brings a full schedule of exhibition games to get players and coaches up to speed while also whetting the appetites of football fans ahead of the regular season.
For the first time since 1973, there will be no overtime in preseason games. That's just one of the many new rule changes agreed upon ahead of the 2021 campaign, and the preseason will be the perfect testing ground as teams get caught up with the changes.
