Rihanna & Jay Z to Help Kick Off NFL Season

rih_hovThe 2014 NFL season officially begins tonight when the Seattle Seahawks take on the Green Bay Packers.

CBS Sports and NFL Network announced that the opening theme song for each Thursday night game will be Jay & Rihanna’s “Run This Town.” Actor Don Cheadle will narrate a customized preview of that night’s game.

“This open combines one of music’s biggest stars with one of the most dynamic actors in Hollywood,” said CBS Sports creative director Pete Radovich, who directed and produced the theme, via the NFL. “The energy that both talents provide gives the opening to every Thursday night the big-game, primetime feel it deserves. It is a dream scenario for any director.”

NFL Network will show all “Thursday Night Football” games starting Oct. 30, with the exception of a Thanksgiving Day contest between the Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, which will be shown on NBC.
