The NFL’s early Sunday slate can feel like a lot to keep up with, but the 4:25 p.m. ET window is where things start to settle down. Four games are on tap, with two airing on FOX and two on CBS, and there’s a pretty good mix of storylines to follow.

The Dolphins and Raiders are both trying to start over. The Cardinals are looking for a way out of the NFC basement, while the Chargers are trying to prove they’re more than just a solid regular-season team. And then come the division matchups: the Packers visiting the Vikings and the Commanders opening against the defending NFC East champion Eagles.

Most viewers will get one game on each network based on their local market, so if you can watch all four, the question is simple: Which ones are actually worth your time?

Miami Dolphins At Las Vegas Raiders

Fox and Fox One

The Miami Dolphins and Las Vegas Raiders both missed the playoffs, changed coaches, and replaced their quarterbacks. Miami went 7-10 before hiring Jeff Hafley. Las Vegas went 3-14, grabbed the first overall pick, and hired Klint Kubiak.

In other words, both teams spent the offseason promising a fresh start. Now they have to show one.

Miami’s old offense is gone. Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle are all out. They brought in Malik Willis at quarterback and kept De’Von Achane as the team’s biggest returning weapon. Willis showed flashes with Green Bay, especially as a runner, but starting every week is a different test. He’ll also be throwing to a mostly unproven group, so Achane may have to carry a lot of the offense again.

The Raiders are taking a slower approach with their rookie quarterback. Fernando Mendoza went first overall after winning the Heisman and a national title, but Kirk Cousins will start for now. That should make Las Vegas steadier early, especially with Ashton Jeanty and Maxx Crosby around. Still, every bad drive will have fans wondering when Mendoza gets his shot.

This probably won’t tell us which rebuild is working. It should at least show which team looks less lost.

Arizona Cardinals At Los Angeles Chargers

CBS and Paramount+

The Arizona Cardinals started last season 2-0 and then by the end of it were losing nine straight to finish 3-14. It was pretty clear they needed more than another small tweak.

Jonathan Gannon was fired, Kyler Murray was shipped out, and former Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur took over. Jacoby Brissett gets the first shot at quarterback after starting 12 games last season and throwing 23 touchdowns with eight interceptions.

Arizona still has some pieces to work with. Trey McBride caught an NFL-record 119 passes for a tight end, Michael Wilson topped 1,000 receiving yards, and Marvin Harrison Jr. is looking to get healthy and find his footing. The Cardinals also drafted running back Jeremiyah Love third overall, though he’s dealing with a high ankle sprain.

The big question is whether those pieces can actually turn into a functioning offense instead of a few players putting up numbers while the team keeps losing.

The Chargers have a different issue: They’re good, but they haven’t done much with it yet. Jim Harbaugh's won 11 games in each of his first two seasons, and Justin Herbert threw for 3,727 yards and 26 touchdowns last year despite shaky protection and a fractured hand.

Los Angeles made the playoffs three times with Herbert and lost their opener every time, including a rough 16-3 loss to New England last season. Another solid regular season followed by a quick playoff exit won’t feel like progress.

Mike McDaniel was brought in to improve an offense that ranked 20th in scoring. With Herbert, Ladd McConkey, Omarion Hampton, and both starting tackles back, he has enough talent to work with.

The Chargers should win this one. The real question is whether the offense looks noticeably better or if Herbert has to carry it again.

Green Bay Packers At Minnesota Vikings

CBS and Paramount+

Nothing eases a team into a new season like immediately playing a division rival.

The Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings know each other well, but Minnesota will look different with Kyler Murray making his first start at quarterback. He’ll have Justin Jefferson out wide and a Kevin O’Connell offense designed to make his job easier.

Green Bay's still building around Jordan Love and trying to climb back to the top of an NFC North that's become one of the league’s toughest divisions. The Packers have made the playoffs in six of Matt LaFleur’s seven seasons, but they ended last year with a 31-72 loss in Chicago.

One Week 1 game won’t decide the division, but it could set the tone for two teams that expect to be fighting for the same playoff spots all season.

Washington Commanders At Philadelphia Eagles

Fox and Fox One

The Washington Commanders don’t get much of a warm-up. They open on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles, the defending NFC East champions and the team they’ll likely be chasing all season.

Washington needs Jayden Daniels to get back on track after injuries and a shaky defense dragged the team down last year. Stefon Diggs is in town to help Terry McLaurin, but the defense could have as many as eight new starters.

Philadelphia still has Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and one of the league’s best defensive fronts. The Eagles know Washington well, too, so this should actually feel like a division game right away.

It’s a rough opener for the Commanders, but it’s also a quick chance to prove last season was a bump in the road and not the beginning of a bigger problem.
