The road to Super Bowl 50 begins with the start of training camps across the country
The New England Patriots are the defending Super Bowl champions and won't officially open defense of their title until Sept. 10 when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers to kick off the 2015 NFL regular season. However, the real work for Bill Belichick's team begins July 23 when rookies report to training camp in Foxborough, Mass.
Baltimore, Cleveland and New Orleans get a slight head start on New England and rest of the league when their rookies report on July 22, while Indianapolis and Philadelphia don't break camp until Aug. 1. In the end, it really doesn't matter which team gets back at it first or last. Instead it's which two teams will be on the field last — playing in Super Bowl 50 in Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Feb. 7.
