Incredible images from opening night at Gillette Stadium

The NFL is back … finally.

As the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs kicked off the 2017 season, millions of fans got their first look at NFL action. With Roger Goodell, Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Alex Smith, Tyreek Hill, and others taking hold of the spotlight, here are some of the best shots:

Welcome back, Roger.

Commissioner Clown.

"No worries, I'm used to this."

LET'S GO!!!

Here to boot the door down.

Is this what the NFL looks like?

"Why haven't we won the game yet?"

"Good start, new guy."

Threading the needle.

"I've been waiting eight months to score that touchdown!"

Some guys just can't catch a break

So I get kicked in the head, and I get the penalty?

Weren't we supposed to go undefeated?

A flipping great result!
