NFL to unfurl patriotic theme for opening games NEW YORK -- The NFL will salute "the American spirit" during its games on the first full day of the season, Sept. 11.
Pregame tributes will be synchronized on CBS and Fox telecasts and shown on videoboards in each stadium hosting games. Coaches, players and local first responders will hold field-length American flags for the playing of the national anthem.
A video introduction followed by performances of "Taps" from near the sites of the attacks, and moments of silence also will be included. For the early afternoon games, "Taps" will be performed in Shanksville, Pa., while the late-afternoon games will feature a rendition from Arlington National Cemetery outside of Washington.
The Sunday night game will include a performance from Hoboken, N.J., looking across the Hudson River toward ground zero.
