The NFL kicks off in earnest Sunday, Sept. 11 with a full slate of games after the Bills and Rams opened up the season on Thursday Night Football.
Both the 1 p.m. and 4:25 p.m. ET windows feature a full slate, including several divisional matchups. The AFC champion Bengals will begin their conference title defense against the Steelers, who are living in the post-Ben Roethlisberger era. Matt Ryan will begin his new life in Indianapolis against the Texans, whereas the Patriots and Mac Jones look to take the next step against Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and the Dolphins. The Saints and Falcons also open the season against each other in an NFC South showdown that features two teams with no love lost.
In the late window, the Packers will begin life without Davante Adams against the Vikings, while the Raiders and Chargers run back a thrilling grudge match from Week 18 last year that saw Las Vegas win and move on to the postseason. In an inter-conference matchup, Patrick Mahomes takes on newly extended Kyler Murray in Chiefs vs. Cardinals.
Finally, in the prime-time windows, the Buccaneers open their season against the Cowboys for the second year in a row, while Russell Wilson returns to Seattle as a member of the Broncos to begin the next chapter of his career.
