Patriots Open 2009 in Prime Time



For the second time in four years, the New England Patriots will open their regular season campaign at home against the Buffalo Bills. However, the 2009 version will have infinitely more intrigue going into it than the 2006 contest.

Boston.com's Christopher L. Gasper is reporting that the Patriots and Bills will square off on the season premiere of ESPN's Monday Night Football on September 14 at 7:00 p.m., as the first half of a Monday Night Football double-header.

The game will mark Terrell Owens' regular season debut with Buffalo as well as the much-awaited return of Tom Brady. The game will kick start the NFL's season long 50th anniversary celebration of the American Football League, of which the Patriots and Bills were inaugural members.

The remaining sixteen weeks of the Patriots' 2009 regular season schedule will be released in the coming weeks.
