Aaron Rodgers back on Patriots’ schedule after re-signing with Steelers

Yahoo Sports NFLMay 17, 2026, 4:36 AM+118 stories · 30dSource ↗

Aaron Rodgers Drake Maye Rhamondre Stevenson

The New England Patriots will play hosts to the Pittsburgh Steelers in their 2026 home opener at Gillette Stadium, and to one of the best quarterbacks of all time. Aaron Rodgers will again be under center for the Black and Gold this season, a move that was made official on Saturday. As first reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Rodgers and Pittsburgh reached an agreement on a one-year contract. The deal will pay him a fully-guaranteed $22 million. This means that Rodgers will lead the Steelers on their trip to Foxborough in Week 2. The Sept. 20 game will be a rematch of last year’s Sept. 21 meeting between the two clubs. The visitors won that contest with a final score of 21-14, a loss that turned out to be the Patriots’ last one for almost two months. Rodgers completed 16 of 23 pass attempts (69.6%) that day for 139 yards and two touchdowns, while also tossing an interception to Patriots linebacker Robert Spillane . “They throw a lot of different things at you,” Rodgers said following the game. “Felt like they were kind of in a 2-shell to start the game. Ran it at them pretty good the first couple of drives, and they adjusted. Didn’t make enough plays. We had some penalties, some bad throws. They played how we thought they were going to play. They’re a tough group, they’re well coached, and they were sticky in coverage.” The win in Week 3 last year improved Rodgers’ career record against the Patriots to 4-2. He previously went 2-1 while quarterbacking the Packers , and split the series during his lone healthy season with the Jets in 2024. From a Patriots perspective, keeping Rodgers in check was not the main issue last year. Instead, it was the offense turning the ball over five times. Drake Maye threw an interception and lost a fumble, while Rhamondre Stevenson put the ball on the ground twice; Antonio Gibson also fumbled one possession away. The Patriots recovered from that loss and eventually advanced all the way to the Super Bowl. Rodgers and the Steelers went 10-7 in the regular season but were beaten by the Texans in the divisional playoff round

SeatGeek is the official NFL Ticketing Partner of the New York Post. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The Jacksonville Jaguars were one of the NFL’s biggest surprises in 2025. After finishing 2024 with a lowly 4-13 record, Trevor Lawrence , Travis Hunter and co. turned things around last year and ended the season 13-4. That complete 360-degree transformation was largely thanks to Lawrence’s impressive play, a turnover-happy defense and an eight-game win streak to close the year. Although they lost a 27-24 heartbreaker to the Bills in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, the campaign was a major step in the right direction for a franchise that missed the postseason two years in a row. Yet, they’re not even close to being satisfied. “Now the real work is here to where we have to go and reload it,” rookie head coach Liam Coen said in January. With the release of the NFL schedule, Coen and his squad have an idea of what they’ll need to prepare in order to mount another successful season. Notable opponents heading to Jacksonville’s Everbank Stadium these next few months include Drake Maye ’s AFC champion New England Patriots (Sept. 27), Daniel Jones ’ Indianapolis Colts (Nov. 1), T.J. Watt ’s Pittsburgh Steelers (Dec. 14) and Jayden Daniels ’ Washington Commanders in the final home game of the season on Saturday, Jan. 2. To make sure they’re re-loaded, general manager James Gladstone signed running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. and drafted tight end Nate Boerkircher in the second round to complement fan favorites Lawrence, Hunter, Josh Hines-Allen , Travon Walker and Foyesade Oluokun . All that’s missing is you. If you want to root yourself hoarse with the Duval faithful, tickets are available for all six Jacksonville Jaguars 2026 home games at EverBank Stadium on SeatGeek.

Miami Dolphins drop 2026 schedule. See Malik Willis at Hard Rock Stadium

Malik Willis Tua Tagovailoa Patrick Mahomes

SeatGeek is the official NFL Ticketing Partner of the New York Post. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The Miami Dolphins are headed in a new direction. Following a disappointing 7-10 season, team president Tom Garfinkel cleaned house and canned head coach Mike McDaniel while starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was cut loose and signed with the Atlanta Falcons . To make up for their absences, the franchise signed Packers quarterback Malik Willis to lead the offense and enlisted fellow Green Bay alum Jeff Hafley as his new skipper. And, now that the 2026 NFL schedule has officially been rolled out, Dolfans finally know what year one of the Willis-Halfey (or maybe Quinn Ewers ) era looks like. Notable opponents set to visit the club’s Hard Rock Stadium include Patrick Mahomes ’ Kansas City Chiefs (Sept. 27), Drake Maye ’s AFC champion New England Patriots (Nov. 1), Jared Goff ’s Detroit Lions (Nov. 8), Caleb Williams ’ Chicago Bears (Dec. 13) and Josh Allen ’s Buffalo Bills on Jan. 3, 2027 in the final home game of the season. Unfortunately, due to a number of factors out of their control, Miami encountered a perfect storm and ended up with the second toughest schedule of all 32 NFL teams, according to Yahoo! Sports . “Any situation I want to go in, I want to win in everything that we do,” Hafley told former NFL star Richard Sherman on his podcast. “I think the expectations for right now are we have to build this foundation and build this culture the right way. And I know people don’t want to hear me say that, but I think that’s really important. And then … you have to create that competition to push guys to improve every single day…we need to create that competitive way right now, and I think that’s really important.” To make sure the squad is ready, new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan filled major holes over the offseason after jettisoning Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill , Jaylen Waddle , Bradley Chubb , Jaelan Phillips and a slew of other core players. Taking their place are free agent signees like wideout Tutu Atwell , offensive linebacker Joshua Uche , lineman Jamaree Salyer , receiver Jalen Tolbert and offensive tackle Charlie Heck . Joining them are returning stars De’Von Achane, Zach Sieler , Chop Robinson and Jordyn Brooks along with standout draft picks Kadyn Proctor, Chris Johnson and Jacob Rodriguez. If you want to dive in and root for Hafley’s new-look club live, tickets are available for all eight Miami Dolphins 2026 home games at Hard Rock Stadium on SeatGeek.

Featured pricing is subject to change. The Los Angeles Chargers are nothing if not consistent…which is a good but not great thing. Over the past four seasons, Justin Herbert’s gifted squad has suffered three losses in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs. After finishing 11-6 in 2025 (they also went 11-6 in ’24), the Bolts fell 16-3 to the eventual AFC champion Patriots and subsequently faced yet another long offseason. “We weren’t good enough,” head coach Jim Harbaugh said at the end of the season. “We’ll be spending a lot of hard work and maybe even sleepless nights getting it figured out…not looking at this as an end but as another beginning.” And now that the 2026 NFL schedule has been announced, we have an idea of what the club has in store for their next beginning. Just a few of the biggest franchises set to swing into the Chargers’ home SoFi Stadium this year include Bo Nix ’s Denver Broncos (Oct. 11), C.J. Stroud ’s Houston Texans (Nov. 8), Patrick Mahomes ’ Kansas City Chiefs (Jan. 10), their fellow SoFi tenants in the Los Angeles Rams (Nov. 1) and a rematch with Drake Maye ’s New England Patriots on (Nov. 29). These high-profile foes make up what is the NFL’s ninth-most difficult schedule in 2026, according to Yahoo Sports . As for the roster, standout standbys Justin Herbert, Khalil Mack , Derwin James Jr., Omarion Hampton and Joe Alt are all set to return, as is elite left tackle Rashawn Slater , who missed all of 2025 due to a torn patellar tendon. Running back Najee Harris , guard Mekhi Becton and cornerback Donte Jackson are all back, too. Offseason acquisitions Charlie Kolar , Keaton Mitchell , Cole Strange and Tyler Biadasz join them alongside with splashy offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, who came over after the Dolphins fired him as head coach.

SeatGeek is the official NFL Ticketing Partner of the New York Post. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The Chicago Bears have spent the offseason dealing with a lot of “what if’s.” Yet, even after their crushing 20-17 overtime loss at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round, head coach Ben Johnson’s club isn’t letting heartbreak define them. “This will be, hopefully, a feeling in the locker room we won’t forget, and we will be able to use it as fuel,” Johnson, 39, said in a press conference after the game. Now, three months later, Caleb “Ice Man” Williams and co. will finally get to see who they’ll be using that “fuel” against now that the 2026 NFL schedule has officially been released. Just a few of the most notable biggies Chicago will take on at their home Soldier Field this year include NFC North divisional rivals, Kyler Murray ’s Minnesota Vikings (Sept. 20), Jordan Love ’s Green Bay Packers (Dec. 25) and Jared Goff’s Detroit Lions (Jan. 3, 2027) along with huge matchups against Jalen Hurts ’ Philadelphia Eagles (Sept. 28) and Drake Maye ’s AFC champion New England Patriots (Oct. 22). According to Yahoo! Sports , Da Bears come into ’26 at a bit of a disadvantage, having to deal with the strongest strength of schedule of any team in the league due to their success in 2025. To make sure they’re ready and raring to go, General Manager Ryan Poles addressed major pain points and signed Super Bowl-winning safety Coby Bryant , speedy linebacker Devin Bush , prolific tackle Neville Gallimore , and wideout Kalif Raymond , who played for Detroit when Ben Johnson was its offensive coordinator. This talented group joins the nucleus of Williams, Rome Odunze , and Colston Loveland to form a formidable roster that hopefully won’t have to deal with any “what if’s” after next year’s campaign. All that’s missing now is…you.

In order to get there, they’ll have to get through a number of formidable opponents, considering they have the sixth-hardest strength of schedule of all 32 NFL teams, according to Yahoo! Sports . If you’d like to be in the stands to help root on Mike Vrabel’s mighty squad, tickets are available for all eight home games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. Notable showdowns set to take place on the Pats’ turf include battles with T.J. Watt ’s Pittsburgh Steelers (Sept. 20), Jordan Love ’s Green Bay Packers (Nov. 8), Josh Allen ’s Buffalo Bills (Dec. 6), Kyler Murray ’s Minnesota Vikings (Dec. 10) and Bo Nix ’s Denver Broncos (Jan. 3). To prepare for these high-stakes contests, General Manager Eliot Wolf has been putting in work this offseason. Over the past few months, the former director of scouting has inked deals with standout guard Alijah Vera-Tucker, high-energy edge linebacker Dre’Mont Jones , potential backup tight end Julian Hill and, most excitingly, splashy wide receiver Romeo Doubs . “Doubs gives the Patriots a strong receiver who can replace Stefon Diggs and run all kinds of routes: intermediate, over the middle, outs and even the occasional deep pattern,” ESPN’s Aaron Schatz said. “He might end up as the Patriots’ top option if they can’t work out an A.J. Brown trade, so don’t be surprised if he tops 1,000 yards for the first time.” Want to see how they mesh with the squad? We recommend grabbing your tickets for all eight home games at Gillette Stadium on SeatGeek as soon as today. SeatGeek is a verified secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

The Buffalo Bills announce 2026 schedule. Get tickets to see Josh Allen

Josh Allen Jared Goff Justin Herbert

SeatGeek is the official NFL Ticketing Partner of the New York Post. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. We finally have an idea of what the first season of the Joe Brady era will look like. The NFL just unveiled its 2026 schedule and revealed all of the clubs the Buffalo Bills will face off over the course of the 17-game campaign. Notable opponents set to visit Josh Allen and co. at their home Highmark Stadium this year include perennial contenders like Jared Goff ’s Detroit Lions (Sept. 17), Justin Herbert ’s Los Angeles Chargers (Sept. 27), Drake Maye ’s New England Patriots (Oct. 4), Lamar Jackson ’s Baltimore Ravens (Nov. 1) and Patrick Mahomes ’ Kansas City Chiefs (Nov. 26). They’ll also face off against Caleb Williams ’ surprise 2025 playoff team Chicago Bears on Saturday, Dec. 19. Former offensive coordinator Brady replaces Sean McDermott, who coached Buffalo from 2017-25 and led the squad to a 98-50 record and eight playoff appearances. Still, zero trips to the Super Bowl led to him getting the boot. “We’ve got to start this from ground zero, from the jump,” Brady, 36, said. “I want the guys to understand this is all new — and they’re going to build it. I have values I believe in but if I’m the only one that believes in it, then there’s not going to be that buy-in. You hope the guys buy-in so that what they value is what I value. And that’s when I believe the culture takes care of itself.” Whether Brady can lead the Bills to the promise land is yet to be seen. All that we know for certain is that Bills Mafia can pick up tickets to all 17 regular season games at Highmark Stadium as soon as today on SeatGeek. Not familiar with SeatGeek?

#PostPulpit Mailbag: What’s the most exciting game on the Patriots’ schedule?

Yahoo Sports NFLMay 15, 2026, 3:20 PM+3 stories · 30dSource ↗

Jaylen Waddle Drake Maye Caleb Williams

The NFL schedule has officially been released, but the focus for New England Patriots has remained centered on the offseason program as OTAs are less than two weeks away. So, let’s get into this week’s #PostPulpit Mailbag. What is the game youre most looking forward to on the Patriots schedule? – Mike W. It’s tough to top the Super Bowl rematch right out of the gate, especially in the Seattle environment. While it will be a challenging one for the Patriots, they should fare much better than they did three months ago with the upgrades the’ve made this offseason. Other playoff rematches against the Broncos, who made a big swing this offseason by acquiring Jaylen Waddle , and the Chargers, who should be healthier and now have Mike McDaniel coordinating the offense, should make for great primetime matchups. And any Drake Maye vs. Caleb Williams game (along with Mike Vrabel vs. Ben Johnson) should be a fun watch, although hopefully it’s not hurt by being on Thursday Night Football. Are there any anticipated schematic shifts given the additions/losses personnel wise for the Patriots ie; loss of Tonga, addition of Byard, loss of Diggs, addition of AVT (plus the likely addition of AJ Brown)? – LandenPatz1 The biggest change appears to be on offense. Dating back to last season, New England has remodeled its offensive line with a focus on adding athleticism (Campbell, Wilson, AVT, Lomu). With Drake Maye at quarterback, the goal is to prioritize pass protection while also becoming more athletic up front to move the pocket, operate bootlegs, etc. That shift could also lead to an increased emphasis on a zone run game, which in turn opens up play-action and those bootleg concepts. Additions such as Reggie Gilliam and Julian Hill — both strong blockers on the move and at the second level — would further support that transition. It looks to me we want to run much more often based on free agency signed players and even draft picks. It should open the passing game if it is efficient. WYT ? – 7i165 Running the football more consistently is a clear point of emphasis this season. Speaking at the NFL League Meetings this offseason, Mike Vrabel noted the team’s ability to generate explosive runs but also its struggles with efficiency on the ground. Eliot Wolf also said several offseason additions were made intentionally to improve the rushing attack. Staying ahead of the chains and improving their short-yardage efficiency should make life easier for Drake Maye and the offense, while also enhancing their play-action pass game. I can’t help but wonder whether Henderson will make a major jump this year. It seems to me the shift to a more mobile OL is all about getting him space. What do you think his season will look like? – ed.liebfried Last season, Henderson seemed to be the definition of home-run or bust in the running game. The offseason additions should benefit him, along with the potential shift toward more zone concepts. After struggling down the stretch last season, hopefully things slow down mentally for the speedster to find more consistency moving forward — additionally in terms of a pass blocker in order to get on the field in passing situations. Has the pass rush been upgraded? – wrw921 The team believes Dre’Mont Jones is an upgrade over K’Lavon Chaisson . Add in second-round rookie Gabe Jacas , who projects to make an immediate impact, and that should lead to an improved unit. Time will also tell how Harold Landry recovers from a knee injury that derailed a strong start to last season. Game of upgrade, downgrade, or potential to be an upgrade – sjamesbossports Most of the rookies will probably fall in the “potential” category, but here we go: Alijah Vera-Tucker over Garrett Bradb ury: Upgrade A.J. Brown over Stefon Diggs : Upgrade Romeo Doubs over DeMario Douglas : Upgrade Eli Raridon over AustinHooper: Potential to be an upgrade Caleb Lomu over Thayer Munford Jr: Upgrade Reggie Gilliam over Jack Westover : Upgrade [... truncated ...]

Breaking down 12 must-see games for 2026 season after NFL schedule release

Yahoo Sports NFLMay 15, 2026, 7:47 AM+6 stories · 30dSource ↗

Drake Maye Josh Allen Bo Nix

Rematches, reunions and rivalries. The three R’s often create the juiciest games of the NFL regular season — no matter how much promotion goes into the games on the primetime and international schedules. Here are 12 games (excluding those featuring the Giants and Jets) to mark on your must-see calendars: It is the fourth straight regular season with a Super Bowl rematch and the champions are 2-1 over the last three. Advantage Seahawks, whose “Dark Side” defense forced MVP runner-up Drake Maye into three turnovers in February. Kicker Jason Myers is back after scoring a Super Bowl-record 17 points . What does one of the NFL’s best rivalries look like in the post-Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh era? Those two head coaches went head to head 44 times (including playoffs) from 2008-25. Will this game still be about smash-mouth runs and big hits under Pittsburgh native Mike McCarthy and Harbaugh protégé Jesse Minter? Josh Allen has a new home stadium , but here he returns to the site of his most recent playoff heartbreak, where he committed four turnovers in a divisional-round loss. A controversial call sullied the ending. On the other side, Bo Nix will face the Bills defense for the first time since he broke his ankle in that same playoff game. The two early favorites to win the Super Bowl played three classic games (decided by a total of seven points) last season, including two decided on the final play and the NFC Championship game when time ran out before a Hail Mary attempt. Reigning MVP Matthew Stafford has rookie quarterback Ty Simpson nipping at his heels now. Unlike Patrick Mahomes-Josh Allen, Mahomes-Joe Burrow isn’t a yearly treat. And Burrow is 3-2 against Mahomes (2-1 in the regular season). The Bengals made a Super Bowl-or-bust trade for defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence . Mahomes is coming off a torn ACL, but his timeline to return from injury — another ‘R’ word — is said to be on track for Week 1. It took just one season as Bears head coach for Ben Johnson to steal the NFC North title and send his former team spiraling from Super Bowl hopeful to missing the playoffs without him. Is new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing the one to restore the Lions offense to what it was when Johnson was calling plays? The new-look Dolphins were assembled from the Packers mold this offseason. General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan was hired away from Green Bay … then he hired Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley as head coach … and together they signed Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis to be their starter. The battle for Texas should pit one of the NFL’s best offenses (Cowboys ranked No. 2 in yards per game last season) against one of the NFL’s best defenses (Texans ranked No. 1 in yards per game allowed last season). Derek Stingley Jr. covering either CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens is must-see theater. Maybe the Bills’ new home will exorcise the ghosts of their annual playoff losses to the Chiefs. Beginning on Thanksgiving Eve, the NFL has a whopper of a quadruple-header capped by this showdown — arguably the NFL’s best non-divisional rivalry right now. Allen has won five straight against Mahomes in the regular season but lost four straight in the playoffs. Mike Shanahan and Gary Kubiak won Super Bowls as head coach and offensive coordinator of the Broncos. Now their sons, Kyle Shanahan (49ers) and Klint Kubiak (Raiders), face off as NFL head coaches for the first time. It’s a great chance to see No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza in what used to be the “Battle of the Bay” before the Raiders moved. A few months after the Jaguars hired Liam Coen over Robert Saleh, Coen and Saleh were screaming at each other on the field because Saleh angered Coen by talking about his “advanced signal-stealing” system. The two claim they have buried the hatchet since September. But this will be the first of now two annual matchups. Not only is fiery Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni facing his former team, he is going head to head with o [... truncated ...]

Chargers poke fun at Patriots, Mike Vrabel in schedule release video

Yahoo Sports NFLMay 15, 2026, 4:18 AM+6 stories · 30dSource ↗

Drake Maye Mack Hollins Stefon Diggs

While the Los Angeles Chargers have struggled delivering championship performances on the field, their social media team delivers year in and year out when it comes to its schedule release videos. The latest features a Halo theme, and it also includes a section about the New England Patriots and their head coach, Mike Vrabel. The Patriots’ section is a race titled “Conquer the Cupcakes,” seemingly a nod to the club’s easy schedule in 2025. It later goes on to poke fun at Vrabel for the ongoing off-field story involving himself and NFL reporter Dianna Russini. First, there is a “Next photo dump 1 mile” sign visible. Later, a notification titled “NY Post sent you a message” pops up on screen. The short segment ends with the Patriots crashing in the Super Bowl, and three players titled Drake “ Drake Maye ” Maye, BigWillie66 and FreeTheFeet13 getting eliminated. Two more players — okurrr_cardi and DaddyDiggs6 — “left the game.” The screen names are references to Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, left tackle Will Campbell and wide receiver Mack Hollins as well as singer Cardi B and her ex-boyfriend and former Patriots wideout Stefon Diggs . Campbell, whose arm length was a topic of discussion before the draft, also seemingly is the target of the T-Rex being visible at the end of this part of the game. The Chargers also make fun of themselves, though. The wild card round portion of the clip features a “Nothing to see here” screen. The Patriots eliminated the Chargers from that playoff round with a final score of 16-3. The two teams will meet again in Week 12 for a Sunday night showdown

Ranking best games for LA Chargers after 2026 NFL schedule release

Yahoo Sports NFLMay 15, 2026, 3:51 AM+10 stories · 30dSource ↗

Justin Herbert Josh Allen Easton Stick

The Los Angeles Chargers will begin their third season with Jim Harbaugh at the helm. Harbaugh and quarterback Justin Herbert led the team to an 11-6 record and were second in the AFC West division behind the Denver Broncos . The Bolts fell short in the playoffs, losing 16-3 to the New England Patriots in the Wild Card round. The Chargers will look to carry that momentum into the upcoming season, having reached the playoffs in each of the past two seasons. The Chargers produced a solid defense in 2025 but are hoping to remain healthy on offense to maximize their opportunity with Herbert under center. Here are five games that could help define the Chargers' season : The Chargers will travel to take on the Buffalo Bills in what is likely to be an offensive battle. It will be important for the Chargers to succeed with their revamped pass rush and apply pressure to opposing quarterback Josh Allen . It will be the first time the two teams have played since Dec. 23, 2023. The game proved close, with Buffalo prevailing 24-22. Herbert did not play in the game, leaving backup quarterback Easton Stick to be sacked five times. If Herbert and Allen are healthy for the Week 3 game, it will be featured as a battle between two of the league’s premier quarterbacks. The Chargers' offense could play inspired football in support of new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, who previously served as the head coach in Miami for the past four seasons. McDaniel was relieved of his duties after finishing with a .500 record (35-35) during his tenure. He went 0-2 in playoff games. The Chargers produced a 29-27 victory in a close outing against the Dolphins last October. Herbert completed 29 of 38 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. Cameron Dicker was responsible for 17 points on the day, making all five of his field goals and two extra point attempts. The two teams have exchanged wins over the last six matches. Drake Maye and the Patriots managed to get the best of the Chargers during the playoffs last season, giving the Bolts more reason to have the game circled on the calendar. This regular-season matchup will take place on Sunday Night Football. The Chargers had won the last two games, both on the road, before the playoff loss. Looking at the series, the Patriots have a 28-17-2 record, with the Chargers winning just three of the last 13 games. Herbert struggled to generate any offense for the Chargers, completing just 19 of 31 pass attempts for 159. He was sacked six times by the Patriots' defense, with three coming from Jayson Oweh. Herbert also fumbled twice, losing one of the pair. Herbert was sacked 54 times throughout the season, third most among NFL quarterbacks. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs had a down season after finishing with a 6-11 record, but the team will likely be another strong competitor for the division title. The Chargers swept the Chiefs with a combined score of 43-34 in both meetings last year. It was a bounce-back season in the series against Kansas City , who had won the last seven meetings before the 2025 season. The Chargers earned the first meeting in the series back in the 1960s, but it is the Chiefs that have pulled away with the series lead over the years at 71-60-1. It remains uncertain when Bo Nix will have full clearance after having a follow-up procedure on his fractured ankle in late April, but expect the Broncos and the Chargers to be serious contenders again to compete for the division crown this season. Both games in the division series could determine who earned one of the top seeds in the AFC playoffs, with the other fighting for a wildcard bid. The Broncos' pass rush produced nine total sacks during the two games played between the two teams last season. Herbert was sacked five times during the first game against the Broncos back in September. Backup quarterback Trey Lance started for the Chargers in the January meeting and was sacked four times on the road. This article [... truncated ...]

Seahawks to host Patriots for Super Bowl rematch in 2026 NFL season opener

Yahoo Sports NFLMay 15, 2026, 3:45 AM+5 stories · 30dSource ↗

Kenneth Walker Drake Maye

The 2026 NFL schedule will open with one of the most anticipated matchups of the regular season. The Seattle Seahawks will host the New England Patriots on Sept. 9 in a rematch of Super Bowl 60, the league announced on Thursday, May 14. It marks the first time since 2016, when the Denver Broncos hosted the Carolina Panthers , that the league is opening a new season by pitting the two reigning conference champions against one another. The Seahawks will begin their title defense against the group they demolished in a 29-13 rout in Santa Clara, Calif., in February. Though offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak departed to become the Las Vegas Raiders' head coach and Super Bowl 60 MVP Kenneth Walker III left to sign the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency , the core of the group remains in place as the franchise launches its title defense. Yet the more intense spotlight might be reserved for the other sideline. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel stepped away from Day 3 of the NFL draft to attend counseling after the New York Post published photos of him and Dianna Russini, the former NFL insider for The Athletic. Vrabel, who is married and has two adult sons, said in April he had held "difficult conversations" with his family and members of the Patriots organization. He later added that his unspecified actions "don't meet the standard that I hold myself to." New England will be trying to chart a fresh course after its Super Bowl unraveling. Drake Maye , the Patriots' second-year quarterback and last season's MVP runner-up finisher, was sacked six times and threw two interceptions. Rookie left tackle Will Campbell came under fire after Next Gen Stats credited him with 14 pressures allowed. Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon , who sacked Maye once and also hit him on the pick-six that all but sealed the outcome, later said Seattle "had a tell" on the Patriots' protection plan. In the rematch, things could shape up considerably different for Maye and last year's No. 2 scoring offense. While Vrabel and executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf stood by Campbell amid questions of a move inside, fellow second-year blocker Jared Wilson is set to move to center. New England also released Stefon Diggs and signed Romeo Doubs to reconfigure Maye's receiving corps. The most drastic step, however, might be taken in the coming weeks, as the Patriots remain a potential landing spot for Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown in a possible post-June 1 trade. The two teams will occupy a rare Wednesday window due to the complications created by this year's calendar. Moving up the kickoff game a day early was necessary to facilitate the Week 1 standalone slot for the league's first Australia game, which will be held between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers on Sept. 10.
