The 2024 NFL season kicked off Thursday night with a late touchdown overturned by replay to preserve a victory by the defending Super Bowl champion, Kansas City Chiefs, over the Baltimore Ravens. The second game of the NFL season will take place this evening in Sao Paulo, Brazil between the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 (“SBA”) was passed to preserve Friday nights for high school football and Saturdays for college football – with a catch. The Act protects high school and college football from the second weekend of September through the second weekend of December. There is a “Black Friday’ game after Thanksgiving for the second consecutive year, but the start time of 3pm eastern / 2pm central is in compliance with the SBA since it will conclude prior to 6pm eastern.
