Schedule, where to watch, odds for Sunday

If the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Chargers and Dallas Cowboys have been harbingers of what’s to come in 2025, then NFL fans may be in for a wild ride this season.

Kicking off the season, the Cowboys took the Eagles down to the wire before the reigning, defending champs took the 24-20 win. In Brazil, the Chargers exorcised AFC West demons, taking down the Chiefs in a back-and-forth affair that came down to the 2-minute warning.

Sunday’s NFL slate should provide plenty more fuel for the early NFL fire with plenty intriguing storylines up and down the slate. Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers kick off the early b when they head to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Jets. It’s something of a mini-revenge game for the veteran quarterback in new threads.

In the afternoon window, the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers duel in an NFC North matchup that may prove pivotal to the division crown later this season. Capping off Sunday in Week 1 is an AFC playoff rematch between the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens, who remain Super Bowl contenders as the season begins.

All that makes for a powderkeg of a Week 1 in the league. Don’t miss any of it – USA TODAY Sports will provide news, highlights, updates and more from all things NFL Week 1 below. All times are Eastern.

Is Christian McCaffrey playing today?

McCaffrey missed the 49ers’ Friday practice with a calf injury, making his Sunday afternoon availability a bit murky. The star running back says he hopes to play on Sunday and that he “feels great.” McCaffrey is listed as questionable with the injury.

Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward was holding out for a new deal, and on the eve of the NFL season, he got one, per reports.

The Steelers added over $3 million of incentives to Heyward’s contract for 2025, according to the NFL Network. The extra cash is premised on the Steelers making it to the postseason and winning playoff games, according to the report. – Mike Freeman
