Although the games don’t count, NFL fans are excited to see their teams back in action for the 2016 preseason.

Not everyone loves this time of year, especially the veterans who don’t need the extra grind on their bodies. However, the exhibitions games are beneficial for young players who need extra reps as well as the men who are trying to earn the final few spots on rosters. 

Of course, fans are just happy to see any sort of football after going six months without it.

There is still another month until the regular season begins, but here is a look at what you need to know as the preseason gets started.

Top Games to Watch Green Bay Packers vs. Indianapolis Colts

When: Sunday at 8 p.m. ET

TV: ESPN

Live Stream: WatchESPN 

The Hall of Fame Game means one thing: The NFL is back.

It’s true that the game’s biggest stars will get limited playing time, as they’ll likely go out after one or two series. However, you still get a chance to see two of the best quarterbacks in football in Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck, even if it is for a short time.

An added bonus for this matchup is the opportunity for fans to cheer for their teams as well as the induction of some of the biggest stars over the past 20 years.

Brett Favre is arguably the biggest name in the 2016 Hall of Fame class, and while he had a rough breakup with the Packers, everyone knows the accomplishments he had while in Green Bay. A lot more Cheeseheads will cheer him on during his speech than Minnesota Vikings or New York Jets fans.

Meanwhile, the Colts will see Tony Dungy and Marvin Harrison earn their places in Canton; both men were instrumental in the team’s last Super Bowl win in 2007.

As for the game, it will just be nice to see some players hit one another again.
