Here are the best games for football fans to watch on Sunday for Week 1 of the 2018 NFL season.

Football fans watched Week 1 of the 2018 NFL season get off to an amazing start on Thursday night when the defending champions in the Philadelphia Eagles held on for an 18-12 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Doug Pederson’s team was far from perfect in their first game since winning the Super Bowl back in February, but all that matters is the Eagles started off the new year on a hot note by taking down the Falcons.

As for the rest of Week 1, fans will have to wait a few more days until Sunday rolls around for the next set of games, and when seeing some of the teams squaring off against one another, the first weekend of action shouldn’t disappoint. While there will be a few key division rivalry games taking place on Sunday, the one that arguably sticks out the most is the AFC West battle that will go down between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs may have finished on top of the division last year, but with the team adjusting to Patrick Mahomes II taking over the starting role along with the Chargers looking to pick up where they left off to close last season, it’s easy to see why this will be one of the top Week 1 games. Along with these two AFC West rivals facing off for the first of two meetings this year, here are the top games for football fans to consider on Sunday that should be filled with plenty of excitement.
