South Georgia fans excited for NFL's return

Posted: Updated:

WALB NBC broadcast the first NFL game of the 2012 season Wednesday night. Fans and some businesses are pleased football is back.

Buffalo Wild Wings was packed with people watching the Defending Super Bowl Champion New York Giants take on the Dallas Cowboys. This is the first football season the sports bar has been opened here.

One fan told us he's thrilled about that because now he can catch his favorite team whenever he wants. "When my team is not being televised locally, this is a great place to come because they have a much wider variety of games," Sam Holden said.

The Sunday night game here on NBC will feature Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
