2024 NFL Season: Top 5 Blockbuster Matchups Every Fan Can’t Miss!

With the NFL schedule set to release sometime this week, here are the top five most anticipated games for the 2024-2025 season.

Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs

Joe Burrow vs. Patrick Mahomes has been the quarterback duel of this generation as Burrow touts a 3-1 record against his rival Mahomes. This will be a rematch of the 2021 and 2022 AFC Championships and the audience will be eager to see who comes out on top of this edition of the matchup.

Houston Texans at Dallas Cowboys

This in-state battle has primetime written all over it as the Texans will take on the Cowboys in a game that could have NFL seeding implications on the line. CJ Stroud will lead one high-powered offense against another quarterbacked by Dak Prescott. This might be a high-scoring affair that reminds everyone of the old Western shootout flicks.

Kansas City Chiefs at San Francisco 49ers

Super Bowl 56 was an all-time classic that ended with Mahomes leading a game-winning touchdown drive in overtime. The rematch will garner a major audience as the 49ers are looking for revenge against the defending Super Bowl champions.

This could be an epic QB matchup as two-time MVP Lamar Jackson will welcome former Pro Bowler Josh Allen to M&T Bank Stadium. This will also be an opportunity for Derrick Henry to shine as he tries to prove he is still the same running back he was early on with the Titans.

This matchup will include two up-and-coming stars at QB. Stroud will look to continue his meteoric rise versus his NFC counterpart Jordan Love. This game could be a preview of a future Super Bowl matchup as both teams seem set for long-term success.
