"XFL owner The Rock invading the NFL": Football fans go crazy as Dwayne Johnson calls back his Super Bowl intro by kicking off the NFL season

Dwayne Johnson is back in the NFL scene, and he’s picking up right where he left off. Last year, he kicked off the Super Bowl, and now he’s kicking off the NFL season.

Matthew Stafford and the defending Super Bowl champs will look to start their title defense against a very staunch Bills defense. Buffalo is pegged to be a Super Bowl favorite.

Josh Allen has been trending upwards since his rookie year, and now, he’s ready to take that MVP leap. The Bills have a lot of star power on their team, and now they need to prove that they can take that next step and make it to the Super Bowl.

Los Angeles has no shortage of star power either. They retooled with Allen Robinson to go alongside Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp, and they added Bobby Wagner on the defense that already has Aaron Donald. After winning the Super Bowl, Los Angeles will be eager to come back and win again.
