2025 NFL schedule: What are the 3 best Bills games next season?
We still have plenty of time until the 2025 NFL season but the Buffalo Bills are already preparing
The team also knows the route it will take following the league releasing the full schedule for next year earlier this month.
For many, each and every game is a big one. But what ones stand out amongst the rest?
Here are Bills Wire's three best games to come in 2025:
Week 1: vs. Baltimore Ravens
It's not only the season opener at home in Buffalo... it's a prime-time matchup on "Sunday Night Football" that could be an epic outing. The Bills and Ravens often deliver... and there's nothing like the first game of the NFL season in Orchard Park.
Week 9: vs. Kansas City Chiefs
You knew it was coming.
Everyone across the NFL and football world watch when the Bills and Chiefs do battle. Is it ever a bad game when Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes do battle at quarterback?
Week 18: vs. New York Jets
The week prior to this one the Philadelphia Eagles and Bills square off. That might be called a "Super Bowl preview" in Week 17.
But this season finale will hold value no matter what.
It's the final game that will be played at the team's current home at Highmark Stadium as their new venue opens next season. This one will cut deep for Bills Mafia.

Watch 41 minutes of highlights from Bo Nix's rookie season

Watch 41 minutes of highlights from Bo Nix's rookie season The Denver Broncos drafted Bo Nix in 2024 to make him their franchise quarterback. After the quarterback's illustrious career with the Auburn Tigers and the Oregon Ducks, it appeared that Sean Payton got his man after doing his homework. And if the 2024 NFL season was an indicator, Payton was right. Nix threw for 3,775 yards and 27 touchdowns compared to just 12 interceptions. The rookie quarterback also rushed for 430 yards and scored four times on the ground last season in addition to hauling in a touchdown catch. Nix and his play led the Broncos to their first playoff appearance since their 2015 Super Bowl-winning season. And what makes Nix and his performance more impressive? Payton's offense was Nix's sixth consecutive new offense, dating back to his five years in college. With that said, check out 41 minutes -- yes, 41 minutes -- of Nix and his highlights as a rookie below. Although it's lengthy, it's worth the watch: Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

Which Jacksonville Jaguars' rookie, not named Travis Hunter, is player to watch in 2025?

Which Jacksonville Jaguars' rookie, not named Travis Hunter, is player to watch in 2025? Of the Jacksonville Jaguars' draft picks, which rookie, not named Travis Hunter, will you be watching most closely this season? Of the Jacksonville Jaguars' nine draft picks, which one will you be watching most closely during the 2025 NFL season? Pro Football Focus recently answered this question for all 32 teams, and not surprisingly, they selected Travis Hunter, which I'm guessing is going to be the answer for most. How can you not want to see how Hunter and the team navigates him playing on both sides of the ball? "Hunter is one of the most intriguing rookies in NFL history," wrote PFF. "Last year's Heisman Trophy winner is the greatest two-way player in college football history, having earned an 89.0 PFF receiving grade and a 90.3 PFF coverage grade. He projects as more of a receiver for the Jaguars right now but should still see a healthy number of snaps at cornerback in more of a rotational role." With Hunter being the obvious choice here, I'm going to take it in a bit of a different direction. So which rookie, outside of Hunter, am I most intrigued by? Running back Bhayshul Tuten, specifically, how big of a role can he play in 2025? How the playing time shakes out in the running back room this season remains to be seen. Returning from last year's team are Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby, although Etienne struggled with efficiency, averaging 3.7 yards per rush in 2024, while Bigsby put the ball on the ground. Under the Jaguars' new leadership structure, as a draft pick, Tuten is 'their guy.' But like any young player, there will be a learning curve for Tuen to navigate as he adjusts to the NFL level and a new, demanding offensive scheme. Early on in OTAs, Tuten has already put the ball on the ground, which was an issue he dealt with during his college career. However, what he brings to the Jaguars' offense is speed, running a 4.32-second 40 during the pre-draft process--the fastest time of any running back at the NFL combine--and big-play ability. Last season, Tuten averaged 6.3 yards per rush and was difficult to bring down, ranking 13th in average yards after contact and 16th in missed tackles forced, per PFF. Having a strong running game to lean on is going to be important to the overall success of the Jaguars' offense. I think we can all expect Tuten to have a role this season, but how big of one may still have to be determined. "I thought last week, as we were kind of getting more into the scheme, he was getting a little bit more comfortable," Coen said of Tuten last week. "I thought he started to get a little bit more into it, had a couple better runs of feeling the zone and being able to stick his foot in the ground and accelerate. "So, good learning experience. You know, first time in a live setting in the National Football League, on your first carry, hopefully you learn something from that moment."

First impression of Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson after OTAs

First impression of Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson after OTAs The Pittsburgh Steelers knew a year ago they would not have running back Najee Harris in 2025. So when the 2025 NFL draft rolled around, no one was shocked when the Steelers spent a third-round pick on former Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson. Johnson got his first taste of the NFL during the first week of Steelers OTAs and here are some first impressions of the player. Johnson comes across as a very confident player who does not seem like the NFL is too big for him. Johnson was the heart and soul of the Iowa offense and you can see that level of maturity and leadership has carried over into the league. Johnson might not be the team's feature back in 2025 but there's no doubt the coaches aren't going to be fearful of putting Johnson on the field in important situations and downs. The other thing that really jumped out about Johnson is his conditioning. There's nothing head coach Mike Tomlin wants more from a rookie than proper NFL-caliber conditioning. This will be even more important in July when training camp starts, but if this week is any indication, Johnson takes his conditioning very seriously and this is going to translate into early opportunities. Pittsburgh feels like they got a bargain and a special player in Johnson and early returns are in and they might have nailed this one.
