The rest of the board supplies three distinct afternoon checks. Philadelphia brings a 1-0 record to Tennessee after the Titans opened 0-1, and the Eagles' official preview identifies red-zone execution, fourth-quarter finishing and quarterback Cam Ward's young Titans offense as the matchup's central questions. Green Bay visits the Jets in the 1 p.m. window, while Cincinnati at Houston, New Orleans at Baltimore and Cleveland at Tampa Bay give the first wave several teams trying to avoid an 0-2 start.
The 4 p.m. group is equally easy to sort. Washington and Dallas both enter 0-1 for a division game at AT&T Stadium, so neither can afford another slow start. Seattle and Arizona are both 1-0 before their meeting, making that game the cleanest early-season test between teams that already banked a win. Miami, at 0-1, visits a San Francisco team that opened 1-0. Jacksonville at Denver and Las Vegas at the Chargers fill the other late window, with the road teams trying to change the tone of their seasons before the schedule tightens.
The night game places Indianapolis at Kansas City at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. The Colts are 0-1 and the Chiefs are 1-0, so Indianapolis is chasing a correction while Kansas City protects its early position. The official schedule places the Patriots-Steelers opener on CBS, the Eagles-Titans matchup on FOX and the late triple-header on FOX. Those confirmed windows give viewers a practical order: start with the New England home opener and the Eagles' road test, then follow the three 4:25 p.m. games before the Colts-Chiefs night checkpoint.
