    Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears), Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders) and Bo Nix (Denver Broncos) make their debuts. It’s the fourth time since 1970 that at least three rookie quarterbacks start in Week 1.

    Joe Burrow enters his fifth NFL season without knowing if star receiver Ja’Marr Chase will agree to a new contract, while receiver Tee Higgins is also looking for a big payday. The Bengals also welcome some new faces to the offense, including running back Zack Moss and tight end Mike Gesicki. But they should do just fine in their season opener against the new-look Patriots. Jerod Mayo begins his stint as Patriots coach following the departure of Bill Belichick, while veteran Jacoby Brissett is in line to start ahead of rookie Drake Maye to begin the season.

With new standouts like Stefon Diggs and Joe Mixon in the mix, the Texans could be poised to win the AFC South and compete for a Super Bowl this season. The Colts will also be poised to stake a claim to the division if their two stars stay healthy: quarterback Anthony Richardson is returning from a sophomore shoulder injury, while running back Jonathan Taylor could also be back in top form.

But Miami was unable to muster its offense when the playoffs began for the second straight year. The Jaguars, led by star quarterback Trevor Lawrence and running back Travis Etienne Jr., are hoping to get back into the playoff mix after missing the postseason last year.

    Not much has changed since their playoff game two seasons ago, which the Giants won: The Vikings’ and Giants’ coaches, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson, are still prominent faces.

    Jim Harbaugh’s return to the NFL begins with his first game as Chargers coach at SoFi Stadium, where the Raiders stole home-field advantage thanks to their loyal fans in the Los Angeles area. Justin Herbert returns as Chargers quarterback, but he’ll have new starters at the skill positions to play alongside. Herbert also says he’s healthy after a foot injury hampered this preseason after last season ended prematurely with a broken finger. The Raiders’ rebuild continues with veteran gunslinger Gardner Minshew II entering the second year of Antonio Pierce’s first season as head coach.

    • Time/TV: 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS)

    • Betting Odds: SEA (-6); O/U: 42

    With Geno Smith returning at quarterback, the Seahawks begin life without Pete Caroll with new coach Mike MacDonald at home on Sunday against the Broncos, who also herald a new era. Bo Nix will be the first Broncos rookie to start at quarterback since John Elway (1983) while Sean Payton begins his second year as Denver’s coach. This will be the third time in seven seasons that the two teams have faced each other in the season opener, with the home team winning the previous two games (Denver in 2018 and Seattle in 2022).

Dallas led the NFL with 29.9 points per game in 2023, behind the dynamic play of Prescott (36 touchdowns) and Lamb (1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns). But Cleveland had the best winning percentage in the AFC at home (.889, 8-1) while allowing the fewest points per game (13.9) and yards per game (215.9). Browns starter Deshaun Watson also returns from shoulder surgery last season.

    The Lions finished last season in the NFC championship game, a fairytale postseason run that included a win over Matt Stafford and the Rams in the wild-card round. The Lions appear poised for a Super Bowl run behind quarterback Jared Goff, running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and tight end Sam LaPorta. Stafford and the Rams return to Detroit on Sunday Night Football, as both NFC playoff contenders open their seasons in a rematch of their 24-23 thriller earlier this year.
