So, we at Newsweek Sports thought it would be fun to pick the best games to make sure you have them circled on your calendar this season. Let’s jump right in.7. Week 12: Baltimore Ravens at Los Angeles Chargers (Nov. 25)
There isn’t a lot of „revenge“ in this game, but how could a battle of brothers not make the list?
John Harbaugh, longtime head coach of the Ravens, gets to go up against his brother, Jim, who signed a five-year, $80 million contract with the Chargers this offseason.
John is currently 3-0 against Jim in his NFL coaching career, including a Super Bowl win. Jim will definitely want to finally get his revenge with his new team.6. Week 14: Atlanta Falcons at Minnesota Vikings (Dec. 8, 2024)
Former Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million deal to join the Falcons this offseason. There isn’t any known bad blood between the two sides, but Cousins will absolutely want to prove to Minnesota that they made a mistake in not re-signing him, and electing to build around rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
Cousins spent the last six seasons in Minnesota, throwing for 23,265 yards and 171 touchdowns to 55 interceptions. He made three Pro Bowls and went 50-37-1 during his tenure.5. Week 2: Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos (Sept. 15, 2024)
The Russell Wilson era in Denver was one of the biggest disappointments in NFL history. Wilson, who signed a five-year, $242.6 million deal with the Broncos in 2022, was released in March, just two years into the deal. The Broncos ate $85 million in dead cap space to move on from Wilson.
A week later, Wilson found his next home with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He signed for the veteran’s minimum at $1.2 million, and will compete for the starting job with Justin Fields, whom the team acquired in a trade a week later.
