After losing in the divisional round the past two seasons, Josh Allen and the Bills begin another year with Super Bowl-or-bust expectations against a future Hall of Fame QB, Aaron Rodgers, making his New York debut for the much-hyped Jets.<\/p>\n
Week 2<\/h3>\nVikings at Eagles<\/h4>\n
Sept. 14, 6:15 p.m. on Thursday Night Football, Amazon Prime<\/strong><\/p>\n Minnesota’s magical 2022 ended with a letdown loss to the Giants in the wild card round, but Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson remain a tantalizing tandem. It’s the home opener for Philly, whose D should still be elite with the likes of Fletcher Cox and Darius Slay.<\/p>\n Oct. 1 at 6:20 p.m. on Sunday Night Football, NBC<\/strong><\/p>\n Aaron Rodgers will have gone through the Buffalo, Dallas and New England defenses by the time the Jets host the Chiefs. New York’s offense will need to be in rhythm to compete with Patrick Mahomes & Co., who should be viewed as a favorite to repeat.<\/p>\n Oct. 8 at 2:25 p.m., CBS<\/strong><\/p>\n After Sean Payton ripped 2022 Broncos coach and current Jets OC Nathaniel Hackett for “one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL” in July, everybody from Denver to New York circled this game. Watch for Rodgers to come out slinging.<\/p>\n Nov. 5 at 2:25 p.m., FOX<\/strong><\/p>\n The first of two showdowns between the NFC East heavyweights (they also square off in Dallas in Week 14) could also be a primer for the conference championship game. Dak Prescott against Jalen Hurts is sure to deliver top-quality theatre.<\/p>\n Nov. 20 at 6:15 p.m. on Monday Night Football, ESPN<\/strong><\/p>\n The Super Bowl LVII rematch is the top game to watch this year. Kansas City erased a 10-point halftime deficit to win 38-35. Nick Sirianni and the Eagles stewed on that loss all offseason. Hurts vs. Mahomes is a highlight reel waiting to happen.<\/p>\n Dec. 4 at 6:15 p.m. on Monday Night Football, ESPN<\/strong><\/p>\n Joe Burrow meets Trevor Lawrence in a duel between the No. 1 overall picks in the 2020 and ’21 drafts, respectively, and two QBs who faced each other in the national championship game. Cincinnati is a Super Bowl contender, while Jacksonville is on a big upswing.<\/p>\n Dec. 10 at 2:25 p.m., CBS<\/strong><\/p>\n While the Bengals warrant mention, it’s the Bills and Chiefs who have been the masterclass of the AFC over the past several seasons. The Bills split their last four matchups, but K.C. won both playoff games \u2014 a divisional OT thriller and the AFC championship game.<\/p>\nWeek 4<\/h3>\n
