The Tennessee Titans (0-0) have a new head coach patrolling the sidelines in Brian Callahan, who came over from the Cincinnati Bengals.

For the first time this century, the New England Patriots (0-0) will have a head coach not named Bill Belichick. Former Patriots linebacker coach Jerod Mayo is the new head coach, but he inherits a weak roster with minimal offensive weapons. Conversely, the Cincinnati Bengals (0-0) have plenty of firepower on offense thanks to quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.

The hype is real for the Houston Texans (0-0), who exceeded expectations in 2023 with a trip to Divisional Weekend. As long as quarterback C.J. Stroud stays healthy, the sky is the limit for Houston. Speaking of young quarterbacks, the Indianapolis Colts (0-0) welcome back Anthony Richardson, who played four games in 2023 before suffering a season-ending injury.

• Start Time: 1 p.m. ET
• Channel: CBS
• Stream: NFL+, Paramount+, YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV,

2023 is a season the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-0) would like to forget. After starting 8-3, the Jaguars lost five of their last six games to miss the playoffs. On the other hand, the Miami Dolphins (0-0) made the playoffs but were embarrassed by the Chiefs in the Wild Card round. Expect this game to be extremely competitive.

To say things went haywire in 2023 for the Carolina Panthers (0-0) would be an understatement. Rookie quarterback Bryce Young faces seismic pressure as he enters year two. The Panthers open the season against the New Orleans Saints (0-0), a team with a coach on the hot seat.

The injury bug has hit the Minnesota Vikings (0-0) hard, with rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy out for the season. The Vikings will turn to quarterback Sam Darnold, but that could change quickly. The New York Giants (0-0) also have quarterback issues with Daniel Jones, who must show he can be a franchise quarterback, or this will be his last season for Big Blue.

Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers start time, channel, and live stream

Can Harbaugh work his magic and turn the Chargers into a contender?

After a disastrous 2023 season, the Denver Broncos (0-0) enter year two under Sean Payton with a rookie quarterback, Bo Nix. If Nix becomes a game manager in Payton’s season, don’t be surprised if the Broncos win nine games. Standing across from Payton will be first-year head coach Mike Macdonald, who inherits a Seattle Seahawks (0-0) team that excelled under Peter Carroll.

Dallas Cowboys at Cleveland Browns start time, channel, and live stream

New year, same story for the Dallas Cowboys (0-0). If the Cowboys don’t make it to at least the NFC Championship, it’s considered a failure. Dallas takes on a tough Cleveland Browns (0-0) team on the road to start the season. Can Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson return to elite quarterback play, or are his best days behind him?

Washington Commanders at Tampa Bay Buccaneers start time, channel, and live stream

Things could be looking up in Washington (0-0) under new head coach Dan Quinn. The Commanders selected LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels as the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Daniels should be a human highlight reel for the Commanders. Washington’s opponent is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-0), who surprised the entire NFL in 2023 by reaching Divisional Weekend.

Los Angeles Rams at Detroit Lions start time, channel, and live stream

• Start Time: 8:20 p.m. ET

The best game of the day will be played on Sunday night. It’s a playoff rematch as the Los Angeles Rams (0-0) head to Michigan to play the Detroit Lions (0-0). The Lions edged out the Rams by a score of 24-23 in the Wild Card Round. This game should be close, too. Can the Rams pull through this time around?
