Ranking 8 biggest revenge games on 2025 NFL schedule ft. Super Bowl rematch

The 2025 NFL schedule was released this week, and it's filled with intriguing matchups throughout the year. Some of the most anticipated games each season feature some form of revenge between the teams and players that are involved. Here are eight of the biggest examples scheduled for this year.

Best revenge games on 2025 NFL schedule

Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes

#8 - Browns vs. Titans

The Tennessee Titans selected Cam Ward with the first pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Shedeur Sanders, meanwhile, slid into the fifth round and landed with the Cleveland Browns.

The Titans and Browns face off late in the season. Sanders could be the starter in Cleveland by then and could look for revenge against the team that passed on him.

#7 - Jaguars vs. Texans

Azeez Al-Shaair injured Trevor Lawrence on a controversial hit last year and essentially ended the Jacksonville Jaguars' season hopes. They will look to get their revenge against the Houston Texans and will have two chances to do so in this already established AFC South division rivalry.

#6 - Vikings vs. Seahawks

Sam Darnold put together an excellent season for the Minnesota Vikings last year, powering them to an impressive 14-3 record. This wasn't enough for him to secure a long-term job, with JJ McCarthy taking the reins going forward. Now a member of the Seattle Seahawks, this will likely be a major revenge game for Darnold.

#5 - Jets vs. Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers benched Justin Fields last year in favor of Russell Wilson, despite having a winning record at the time. They then moved on from Fields, who joined the New York Jets in the offseason. He should be looking for revenge, and if Aaron Rodgers signs with the Steelers, as many rumors suggest, he could also be looking for revenge on the Jets.

#4 - Bears vs. Commanders

Caleb Williams was considered the top rookie quarterback entering last season, but he has seemingly been surpassed by Jayden Daniels. The Chicago Bears added Luther Burden III in the draft and also signed new head coach Ben Johnson, so Williams' potential step forward could include getting revenge on Daniels' Washington Commanders.

#3 - Broncos vs. Giants

Russell Wilson and Sean Payton failed as a tandem for the Denver Broncos, resulting in the franchise sticking with the head coach and moving on from the quarterback. It worked out for them after rookie Bo Nix helped them reach the NFL playoffs, but the New York Giants' new starter will be seeking revenge.

#2 - Bills vs. Ravens

Josh Allen won the first NFL MVP award of his career last season, despite many believing that Lamar Jackson deserved it more. The Buffalo Bills also defeated the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs and ended their chances of an AFC Championship rematch with the Chiefs. This game has revenge written all over it for several reasons.

#1 - Chiefs vs. Eagles

The Kansas City Chiefs were defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl to end their chances of becoming the first team ever to three-peat. Patrick Mahomes won't have to wait long for potential revenge on Jalen Hurts as the two teams face off in Week 2.
