NFL Week 1: Green Bay Packers (0-0) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-0) Everything You Need to Know

Broadcast Schedule, TV Schedule, time of the game and "5 things to watch while you're watching."

WISCONSIN -- The Green Bay Packers take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in searing 90-degree heat Sunday, Sept. 11 at noon. It will be so hot, the Jaguars have decided to play in their road white jerseys, leaving the Packers to absorb all that heat in their home Green and Gold uniforms.

5 things to watch while watching:

1) Jordy Nelson is back. Will the speedy wide receiver give the Packers the field-stretching dimension they lacked in 2015?

2) Jared Cook. A premier tight end who finally has a top-flight quarterback to throw to him. Not since Jermichael Finley have the Packers had an athlete of his caliber at the position.

3) Jacob Schum. The Packers new punter made some booming kicks in the final preseason game. Will he continue? He is also the new holder for kicker Mason Crosby.

4) Aaron Rodgers. A player always worth taking special note of. With Nelson, Cook, the return of Ty Montgomery and the addition of Trevor Davis, how will the veteran signal-caller look with the new-look/old-look offense.

5) Eddie Lacy. Trimmer, slimmer and with more shiver, the veteran running back looks to re-capture his earlier form and add a boost to the running game.

Here's how to tune in to Sunday's game:
