Defending Super Bowl Champs Seahawks will open the 2014 NFL season in Seattle with a game against the Green Bay Packers. Everyone knew the Seahawks would be one of the teams to play in the 2014 NFL kickoff game. It’s been a tradition for the defending Super Bowl champs to host the first game of the season, but it was anyone’s guess who the opponent would be in the 2014 NFL season opener.
Some speculated that Denver might be sent to Seattle for a Super Bowl rematch. Others believed that the 2014 NFL season might start with rival San Francisco while the ever popular Dallas Cowboys also topped the list of possibilities.
What makes the Green Bay matchup interesting is that it will be the Packers first trip back to Seattle since the “Fail Mary” game in 2012 that many will remember. Fans will enjoy watching the two best teams in the NFC go head to head in the 2014 NFL season opener. Before Aaron Rogers got hurt, and the Packers lost home-field advantage last year, the Packers were a serious contender. Rogers has returned to the playing field, and he definitely gives the Green Bay Packers a real chance at the NFC championship this year. In fact, this 2014 NFL season opener could prove to be an important game down the stretch.
