GREEN BAY—By the first week in October, the Green Bay Packers will have played the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks on the road, plus three straight NFC North Division games in a span of 12 days.
Those are the highlights of an eventful early-season schedule as the entire slate of 2014 games was released by the NFL on Wednesday. Packers vs Seahawks Live Stream
The Packers are Seattle’s opponent for the annual NFL Kickoff Opener, traditionally hosted by the reigning league champs. The game will take place at CenturyLink Field on Thursday, Sept. 4, in prime time on national TV. http://packersvsseahawkslivestream.net/
The Packers hosted the Saints three years ago coming off their Super Bowl XLV triumph, but this time they’ll be the visiting team in a venue that’s plenty difficult even without all the hype and excitement that will surround the Seahawks’ first game since their rout of the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII.
The New England Patriots have called out the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, and New York Jets. Not for anything on the field, but rather for a charitable purpose off the field. In the Ice Bucket Challenge, which has been floating around Twitter and Facebook recently, Patriots owner Robert Kraft took aim at the AFC East. Patriots vs Dolphins Live Stream
The Ice Bucket Challenge is being done to raise awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. The idea, which began a couple of weeks ago at Boston College, where former captain of the baseball team Pete Frates, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2012, poured a bucket of ice water over his head, and dared a few others to try it, is to accept the challenge of pouring ice water over yourself, or donate money to the ALS Association. Once the videos hit YouTube, the magic began. http://patriotsvsdolphinslivestream.com/
