NFL Hall of Fame Game - Arizona Cardinals vs Carolina Panthers | NBC, watch with a subscription to DIRECTV.

With an unbeatable lineup of local, news, sports, and entertainment channels, three main signature packages, an unlimited DVR, and 20 simultaneous streams at home, DIRECTV remains a premier choice for any cord-cutter.
Yes, the novelty of football’s return wears off incredibly quickly after turning it on. And yes, the game is so frequently interrupted by summer thunderstorms that I’m usually in bed by halftime. But as an NFL fan, it doesn’t matter less — after the seemingly endless waiting, football is back!
