Instant analysis of the 2015 schedule for all 32 teams
The moment NFL fans have been waiting for has finally arrived.
After months of anticipation, the NFL released its 2015 regular-season schedule on Tuesday evening.
Viewing it in its entirety can be a little imposing, so here are two lines on every team's schedule:
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys
Eagles running back DeMarco Murray will make his return to Dallas in Week 9. A stretch from Week 10-14 sees the Cowboys play four-of-five on the road, which could determine their playoff fate.
New York Giants
The Giants won the Super Bowl the last two times they played the AFC East. Will lightning strike thrice?
Philadelphia Eagles
Circle Dec. 13 on your calendars, Eagles fans. LeSean McCoy makes his return to Philly and chances are he's going to try to prove a point to Chip Kelly.
Washington Redskins
The Redskins don't face a 2014 playoff team until Week 9. They'll have to take advantage of the first half of their schedule.
NFC North
Chicago Bears
Chicago hosts Green Bay in Week 1 and the Bears visit the Packers on Thanksgiving. Can Jay Cutler finally get the better of Aaron Rodgers?
Detroit Lions
The Lions have to deal with the Packers twice in a four week span from mid November to early December. That could decide the NFC North winner.
Green Bay Packers
Green Bay hosts Seattle in Week 2 on Sunday night. Can the Packers put their NFC-Championship collapse behind them?
Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings will start the season in prime time on Monday night against the 49ers. Will Adrian Peterson be in the backfield?
NFC South
Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta runs an NFC East gauntlet to start the season, playing the entire division in the first five weeks. If they're not careful, the Falcons could be out of it by mid October.
Carolina Panthers
After a Week 5 bye, the Panthers get the Seahawks, Eagles, Colts and Packers in succession. That's tough sledding for a team that only won 7 games in 2014.
New Orleans Saints
New Orleans will get the Bucs, Jaguars and Falcons in three of the last four weeks. If the Saints can stay in the hunt come December, a return to the playoffs could be in the cards.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Titans will pay Tampa a visit in Week 1. Could we see Jameis Winston versus Marcus Mariota?
NFC West
Arizona Cardinals
Arizona will face Philly, Green Bay and Seattle to close the season. They better have plenty of wins in the bank by that point.
San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers will renew their rivalry with the Seahawks on a Thursday night in Week 7, and the two sides will meet again four weeks later. With Jim Harbaugh gone, it remains to be seen if the battles will still be as intense.
Seattle Seahawks
Seattle plays five-of-seven at home from Week 10-16. That's a nice break for a squad that is nearly impossible to beat at CenturyLink Field.
St. Louis Rams
The Rams play their final home game in Week 15 against the Bucs. Will it be their final game in St. Louis?
AFC East
Buffalo Bills
The Bills have a tough start with the Colts and Pats. But Rex Ryan's return to New York on Thursday night in Week 10 will be must-see TV.
Miami Dolphins
There's a realistic chance the Dolphins could be 4-1 or 5-0 to start the campaign. Matchups with the Redskins, Jaguars, Bills, Jets and Titans are all very winnable.
New England Patriots
October will be tough to navigate for the defending champs, travelling to Indy and Dallas before hosting the division-rival Jets and Dolphins. Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning, round 345, will take place on Sunday night in Week 12.
New York Jets
Darrelle Revis makes his return to New England in Week 7 and Todd Bowles will get his first test against Bill Belichick. Something tells me Bowles won't be as boisterous as Rex Ryan was when marching into New England.
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens play three of their first four on the road, including trips to Denver and Pittsburgh. The good news is, they get five of their last eight at home.
Cincinnati Bengals
Cincy will be in tough in the final month with games against the Steelers, Broncos, 49ers and Ravens. Two of those will be in prime time, where Andy Dalton has been less than stellar throughout his career.
Cleveland Browns
It's conceivable the Browns could start off strong, with games against the Jets, Titans and Raiders to start. But the final three weeks are daunting, with the Seahawks, Chiefs and Steelers.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh kicks off the schedule against the Patriots on opening night. They finish with three divisional games in the final month, which could decide the NFC North.
AFC South
Houston Texans
Andre Johnson will make his return to Houston in Week 5 on Thursday night. Factor in a battle between Andrew Luck and J.J. Watt and you've got the makings of a can't miss game.
Indianapolis Colts
The Colts didn't seem overly bothered by "Deflategate." But rest assured, Bill Belichick will be trying to send a message when the Pats come to town in Week 6 on Sunday night.
Jacksonville Jaguars
We're being treated to another riveting matchup between the Jags and Titans on Thursday night in Week 11. Get your popcorn ready.
Tennessee Titans
Tennessee's schedule is fairly daunting. The only relief is a three-week stretch from Week 11-13, where they get the Raiders and Jaguars twice.
AFC West
Denver Broncos
Peyton Manning should be closing in on the all-time passing yardage mark by mid-season. It would be fitting if he broke it in Week 9 during a visit to Indy.
Kansas City Chiefs
It will be a nightmare first month for the Chiefs. Matchups against the Texans, Broncos, Packers and Bengals will be tough to overcome, especially with three being played away from home.
Oakland Raiders
Oakland will face San Diego on Christmas Eve. It's hard to imagine the Raiders being in a festive mood come Week 16.
San Diego Chargers
The Chargers have five 1 p.m. ET starts. That's a big challenge for a West Coast team to overcome.
