The long-awaited Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season has finally arrived, and it’s time for teams to transition from months of preparation to real on-field action. Fans can look forward to an electrifying divisional clash between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets for the grand finale of football’s opening weekend.
