- NFL opening day standings
-
This page is extremely inaccurate. The Jaguars and Panthers started the same year and have had the same number of Opening Days, yet this page has 15 (10+5) for the Jaguars and only 14 (6+8) for the Panthers. And if it was current as of the 2007 season, then it should only include 13 games for each of those teams, since they both begam play in 1995. Much work needs to be done on this page!
The following are the standings of current National Football League teams' games taking place on their opening days. The standings shown here date back to 1933. Since 1933, there have been a total of 1,579 opening day games played.Standings are current as of the final day of the 2007 NFL season's opening weekend, September 10, 2007.
