Sunday Night Football is back and NBC gets things started with preseason action between the Arizona Cardinals and Oakland Raiders. It is the third preseason game for both teams so expect the starters to play more than in a normal preseason game.
The Raiders have a talented, young nucleus they are building around. Second-year quarterback Derek Carr has two new receivers to throw to this season. Rookie Amari Cooper and veteran receiver Michael Crabtree were both brought in over the offseason. Cooper and Carr seem to have already built a strong connection together and it will be exciting to seem them both play extended minutes tonight.
The Cardinals bring back the majority of a playoff team from a year ago. The team was plagued by injuries towards the end of the season, particularly at the quarterback position. Carson Palmer is back and should play at least the first half tonight. Keep an eye out for second-year receiver John Brown tonight. Brown has amazing speed and could see increased targets during his second season.
NBC is expected to bring their normal crew of Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth and Michele Tafoya. Sunday Night Football is one of the most-watched shows on network television and gets started tonight in Oakland.
