2011 Kicks Off

The 2011 NFL season kicks off it's first weekend of football tomorrow! As fans from around the country bring out jerseys donning the colors of their favorite team and head to the stadiums tomorrow; we all should take time to remember what happen 10 years ago, as we remember September 11, 2001. By now, many know that the NFL and it's players will be taking part in remembrances at each stadium and within their equipment; but as fans, we should all remember that regardless of the color of the jersey a fan is wearing, we are all on the same team and that teams bearers the stars and stripes of the United States.

As Buffalo Bills wide receiver, Stevie Johnson, prepares for the upcoming season, he finds himself in a new role within the Bills offense. With the departure of Lee Evans(to Baltimore), Stevie finds himself as the team's #1 wide receiver. After a breakout season, in which he led the Bills in every receiving category, many wonder if Johnson can follow up on last season. This pre-season Johnson has shown that he has not let up and has looked focused to build off of last years results.

Stevie and his Buffalo Bills teammates travel to Kansas City for week 1 to face the Chiefs, a team in which the Bills lost to in overtime last season. In the loss, Johnson had 5 catches for 37 yards and 1 touchdown that tied the game up late in the 4th quarter.
