"We're excited to showcase Priyanka's talent and worldwide appeal to millions of NFL fans across the United States," said NFL

Network Executive Producer Eric Weinberger. "In My City will set the perfect tone for Thursday Night Kickoff which leads into each of the 13 primetime Thursday Night Football games on NFL Network."

The release of the full song and accompanying video for "In My City" are expected later this year.
Prior to each of the 13 primetime games telecast on NFL Network, Thursday Night Kickoff is a live, two-hour split edition pregame show aired in high definition with broadcast teams from each stadium site, as well as at NFL Network's Los Angeles studios.  Featuring Emmy-nominated Rich Eisen and Steve Mariucci, plus NFL Hall of Fame players Marshall Faulk, Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders, Thursday Night Kickoff begins at 6:00 PM ET leading into NFL Network primetime game.
