Seattle gets to raise its championship banner against the very team it beat for the title.
San Francisco @ LA Rams (Thu, Sep 10, 8:35pm ET, Netflix, Melbourne, Australia) — The NFL's first-ever regular-season game in Australia is also a loaded NFC West rivalry matchup between two teams with real Super Bowl aspirations, streaming exclusively on Netflix.
Dallas @ New York Giants (Sun, Sep 13, 8:20pm ET, NBC) — John Harbaugh's Giants debut comes on Sunday Night Football against a Cowboys team desperate to prove last season's struggles are behind them — a prime early measuring stick for both franchises.
