TORONTO,Aug. 29 2000 --A rematch of last year's thrilling "Music City
Miracle" game kicks-off TSN's 2000 NFL schedule as the Tennessee Titans take
on the Buffalo Bills Sept. 3 at 8:30 pm ET.
    The Titans defeated the Bills in the AFC wild-card playoff game on a last-
second kick-off return.
    The game is the first of 18 NFL games TSN will air this season. The
schedule includes 14 Sunday match-ups, three Thursday tilts and one Saturday
night game (Dec. 23).
    Last year's highest-rated NFL game on TSN featured Buffalo and the
Arizona Cardinals on Dec. 19. That game drew an average audience of 519,000.
    The start of the NFL season also marks the return of two popular NFL-
highlight shows on TSN: NFL Countdown and NFL Primetime. NFL Countdown airs
Sundays at 11:00 am ET (two hours) while NFL Primetime, the fast-paced and
entertaining highlight show hosted by Chris Berman and Tom Jackson, returns to
a one-hour format each Sunday night.
