The wait is finally over for #Kickoff2022. Let’s get you ready with 8 reasons why tonight’s game is going to be epic 🔥(h/t @NFLResearch)
If you’re a fan of wide receivers, you’ll be a fan of this matchup.

This is the first time the previous two seasons’ leaders in receptions and receiving yards have faced off since at least 1980. 🙌

@StefonDiggs | @CooperKupp
With Sean McVay at the helm, you can pretty much pencil in the @RamsNFL for a Week 1 victory.

The defending champs are 5-0 under McVay in their first game of the season. 😱
The numbers suggest that there should be plenty of points scored tonight.

@JoshAllenQB and Matthew Stafford combined for 83 offensive TDs last season, which is tied for the most in a Week 1 matchup in NFL history. 🎯
Von Miller is going to be back at SoFi, but this time in a different uniform.

The 8-time Pro Bowler won his second ring with the Rams last season before signing a five-year deal with Buffalo. He’ll look to add to his total as the active sacks leader. 😤

Matthew Stafford led the league with 1,175 deep passing yards last season, while the @BuffaloBills defense allowed the fewest deep passing yards (167) in the @NextGenStats era.

So something has to give when it comes to the deep balls. 👀
We mentioned the high-powered offenses, but don’t be surprised if the defense ends up dominating.

This is the first Week 1 matchup in the Super Bowl era featuring the teams that led the NFL in scoring and total defense in the last two years. 🔒
.@StefonDiggs and @jalenramsey provide an intriguing WR vs. CB matchup to open the season. Diggs’ numbers vs. Ramsey in two career games: (h/t @PFF)

4 Targets
2 Receptions
9 Receiving Yards
1 Touchdown
Another WR to have on your radar is one of the newer additions to the @RamsNFL: @AllenRobinson.

His 53 contested catches since 2019 are tied for 2nd in the league. (h/t @PFF) ✨

While #Kickoff2022 is going to be anyone’s game, one thing is certain. The storylines are overflowing with entertainment. 💯

No player has appeared in and won three Super Bowls with three different teams. @VonMiller can change that this year.

After an illustrious career with the @Broncos before joining the @RamsNFL on their #SBLVI quest, the future HOFer starts a new journey tomorrow night. (THREAD) Image
Von’s success in the NFL hasn’t been a surprise. He earned multiple First-team All-American honors and won the Dick Butkus Award with @AggieFootball.

Denver drafted Miller with the 2nd pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, making him the highest picked Aggie since 2000, at the time. Image
How would Von fare as a rookie you ask? Well, on his FIRST play in his career, he forced a fumble. (He’d have a knack for forcing fumbles, we’ll get back to that.)

Miller’s stellar rookie season earned him DROY honors.

31 different Pro-Bowlers. Game changers everywhere.

From rounds 1 to 7, the 2016 Draft Class was absolutely stacked 😳 (THREAD ⬇️)
Beginning with Jared Goff as the top pick, the first seven players drafted all have become Pro Bowlers:

-Jared Goff
-Carson Wentz
-Joey Bosa
-Ezekiel Elliott
-Jalen Ramsey
-Ronnie Stanley
-DeForest Buckner
Got to imagine the @Titans were pretty happy when this guy was still available in Round 2 at pick 45.
