How to stream the Hall of Fame game

Twenty years after John Elway’s Broncos thrashed the Dirty Birds in the Super Bowl, Denver and Atlanta meet on prime-time. The stakes are lower this time out, but for starved football fans, the Hall of Fame game is must-watch TV. For the first few possessions anyway.

The Atlanta Falcons are still an offensive-minded team that’s hoping second-year wideout Calvin Ridley continues the jaw-popping touchdown pace of his rookie season. For the Denver Broncos, disgraced veteran Joe Flacco is the next star-crossed signal-caller to lead the team after a parade of post-Peyton Manning clunkers: Brock Osweiler, Paxton Lynch, Trevor Siemian, and Case Keenum. Flacco is better than all of these guys, but in 2019 and in a division with Kansas City and San Diego, two of the league’s best rosters, the Broncos will struggle to be competitive.

But tonight, hope springs eternal and Denver and Atlanta usher in the 2019 NFL season. Here’s everything you need to know to stream the 2019 Hall of Fame game online.
