S Kyle Hamilton vs. Chiefs TE Travis Kelce

Hamilton and Kelce went head-to-head in the 2023 AFC Championship game as two of the NFL's best players. While Kelce is on the back end of his career, Hamilton is entering his prime and can return to his Swiss Army Knife role next season.

RB Derrick Henry vs. Steelers LB Patrick Queen

Henry torched the Steelers for 186 rushing yards last postseason, including a long touchdown run past Queen. The Henry-Queen matchup had a lot of hype last season that will continue in 2025.

RT Roger Rosengarten vs. Steelers DE T.J. Watt

Rosengarten made a name for himself by locking down Watt last season. Watt was kept out of the box score entirely in the Ravens' playoff win. Now Rosengarten has a chance to further establish himself in a rematch with one of the league's top defensive players.

LT Ronnie Stanley vs. Browns DE Myles Garrett

Stanley is coming off a resurgent season and has done a strong job against Garrett throughout his career. Two Pro Bowlers going head-to-head will be fun to watch.

C Tyler Linderbaum vs. Browns DT Mason Graham

The Browns used a top-five pick on Graham with hopes he can become one of the best defensive tackles in the league. Going up against a two-time Pro Bowler in Linderbaum will be a big test.

S Kyle Hamilton vs. Bengals QB Joe Burrow

The Ravens defense struggled last season against the Bengals, but the new Hamilton-Malaki Starks duo will try to slow Burrow down.

CB Chidobe Awuzie vs. Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase

Awuize played in Cincinnati for three seasons, including overlapping with Chase. Fresh off a historic contract extension, Chase is one of the top receivers in the game and will likely have some reps against his former teammate.

QB Lamar Jackson vs. Texans S C.J. Gardner-Johnson

Jackson helped lead a 31-2 rout over the Texans last Christmas, but Houston made some significant roster moves, including adding Gardner-Johnson to patrol the secondary.

ILB Roquan Smith vs. RB D'Andre Swift

Smith spent his first four and a half seasons with the Bears before being traded to Baltimore. This will be his first game back in Chicago, which has a retooled team and a solid running back in Swift.

OLB Mike Green vs. Lions RT Penei Sewell

This will be a big test for Green going against one of the game's best tackles. Green led the FBS with 17 sacks last season at Marshall and will be a part of the outside linebacker rotation from the start in Baltimore.

WR Zay Flowers vs. Jets CB Sauce Gardner

Flowers is coming off a Pro Bowl season while Gardner is one of the game's top young cornerbacks. It will be interesting to see if Gardner follows Flowers throughout the matchup.

S Malaki Starks vs. Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill

Facing the blazing speed of Hill will be a strong test for Starks in the back half of Baltimore's defense. Starks will be a key contributor from Day 1 after getting drafted No. 27 overall.

WR Rashod Bateman vs. Bills CB Christian Benford

Bateman broke out last season with career highs in receiving yards (756) and touchdowns (nine). Benford was just rewarded with a reportedly four-year, $69 million contract after being a strong starter for multiple seasons.

TE Mark Andrews vs. Packers LB Quay Walker

Andrews had a team-high 11 touchdown receptions in 2024 and is a go-to target for Jackson. A full-time starter at linebacker, Walker will have some reps covering Andrews.

OLB Kyle Van Noy vs. Patriots LT Will Campbell

The Patriots took Campbell No. 4 overall to protect young quarterback Drake Maye. Van Noy is coming off his first Pro Bowl season and had a career-high 12.5 sacks. It will be a reunion game for Van Noy, who won two Super Bowls as a Patriot, and a fun battle between a savvy vet and rookie.

CB Nate Wiggins vs. Vikings WR Justin Jefferson

Wiggins enjoyed a strong rookie season and will match up with one of the game's top players in Jefferson. Wiggins closed the season strong and will be tasked with a ton of difficult receivers in 2025.

CB Marlon Humphrey vs. Rams WR Puka Nacua

Humphrey is coming off arguably the best season of his career, earning All-Pro honors while adding a career-high six interceptions. He will have plenty of snaps covering Nacua, who averaged 90 yards a game last season and lines up everywhere.
