The National Football League is now in full swing. Plenty of NBA players are taking time out of their Sunday to watch pro football for the first time in months.
With 13 games scheduled for today, it’s likely each player will have a team to root for.
The day began at 1 pm EST with 10 games scheduled for kickoff. The New England Patriots, New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers are among teams that were in action.
Today’s matches come with even more excitement than usual after a thrilling opening night earlier this week. Payton Manning threw a record-tying seven touchdown passes on Thursday night to open up the NFL season. 
Manning led the Denver Broncos to a 49-27 victory over Baltimore in a highly anticipated rematch against the team that ended the Broncos’ playoff run in January.
Pacers star Paul George took it up a notch, not only is he supporting the hometown Colts, but he’s also in attendance at the game.
