Every year, the NFL’s Hall of Fame Game marks the start of a new NFL preseason. Except when it doesn’t.
The 2016 game between the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts was cancelled after some shoddy painting made the field at the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium unplayable. High temperatures helped congeal the on-the-ground logos with the FieldTurf below, leaving the playing surface “hard as concrete” in some places and a gooey mess in others. While crews tried to fix the problem, the league decided to scuttle the game altogether, leading to a slew of upset fans and at least two notable lawsuits.

That paved the way for the annual game to be moved from Sunday night to Thursday night, two days before the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. And believe it or not, there are reasons to watch the first in the league’s month-long series of meaningless games. The 2018 edition of the Hall of Fame Game will pit the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears against each other in a battle of teams that should be better this year after some upgrades this offseason. What will the Ravens do with first-round pick Lamar Jackson? Does Mitchell Trubisky finally have enough weapons to prove he’s worthy of being 2017’s No. 2 pick?
We won’t really know after Thursday — but at least we’ll have something to talk about.
So, without further ado, here’s why you should tune in for the 2018 Hall of Fame Game.
