With no Texans game today, you're probably not quite as wired as you'd otherwise be on the first Sunday of the NFL's 2013 regular season. Nevertheless, there are meaningful football games on this afternoon. Games that count in the standings and everything. Plus, you've been wandering through the desert that is the NFL offseason. Even without a Texans game on the schedule today, I'm confident you'll be tuning in to watch a game or nine.
The first open thread for the early afternoon (12 p.m. CDT) games will post at 11:45 a.m. In the meantime, make use of this thread as we count down to kickoff on the first Sunday of the 2013 NFL season.
