With the NFL schedule officially released and fans and players already circling down specific dates, we at INSCMagazine, along with our partners from Sideline Sports have complied a top ten list of must-see games to watch this season!
Enjoy!
1. Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs: In what was an instant classic, that tragically led to the NFL altering the rules for overtime, will NFL MVP front-runner Josh Allen and the visiting Bills avenge their bitter loss to Patrick Mahomes at Arrowhead this time around?
2. Denver Broncos vs Seattle Seahawks: The return of Russell Wilson to the Pacific Northwest will be an emotional—and very loud—one, will his former team allow Russ to cook?
3. Cleveland Browns vs. Carolina Panthers: Deshaun Watson vs. Baker Mayfield. Oh, please football gods, grant us this wish! The drama and trolling will be off the charts!
4. Cleveland Browns vs. Houston Texans: For obvious reasons, this game is going to be one of the most hate-watched in NFL history, as troubled QB Deshaun Watson makes his return (?) to Texas to face the team that drafted him, in what will be a game played more outside the lines than on the field.
5. Kansas City Chiefs vs. Cincinnati Bengals: Kansas City BBQ or Skyline chili? Not sure which is tastier in a matchup of the NFL’s new generation top guns down on the Ohio River. Yum!
6. Los Angeles Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs: Order up on UberEats, stock up on popcorn and program your DVR, as Justin Herbert vs. Patrick Mahomes is must-see television.
7. Green Bay Packers vs. Buffalo Bills: For all his storied accomplishments that he has done in his storied career, the one team that Rodgers has never beaten on the road is the Bills. Will he finally break that streak?
8. Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Miami Dolphins: A classic matchup of speed vs. power. This will be many fans first look at the retooled Dolphins with Tyreke Hill and company, facing a Steelers team trying to find their identity—and potential heir to Big Ben.
9. Kansas City Chiefs vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The G.O.A.T. vs. The Kid. In what may be Brady’s last stand, this Super Bowl LV rematch down in Tampa has all the makings of a thriller.
10. Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers: The return of Mike McCarthy, echoes of The “Ice Bowl” and “Dez Caught It!” at Lambeau Field. Yup. This is another Packers-Cowboys classic in the making. Will Dak Prescott finally live up to his contract and establish himself as one of the NFL’s elite? Stay tuned!
