Here, BET.com points out the NFL games in 2014 that will be the most buzzed about, including the Washington Redskins with DeSean Jackson facing the team that cut him, the Philadelphia Eagles, and a Super Bowl rematch between the Seahawks and the Denver Broncos.

Indianapolis Colts at Denver Broncos, September 7 - Andrew Luck is easily one of the NFL’s best young quarterbacks. Peyton Manning is the oldest, having turned 38 last month, but arguably the best that the game has to offer. What kind of Luck will Andrew have leading his Indianapolis Colts into Sports Authority Field at Mile High to take on Manning and the AFC champion Denver Broncos? We’ll find out during the first Sunday Night Football game of the year.(Photos from Left: Sean O'Kane, Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)

Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens, September 11 - Why is this Pittsburgh Steelers-Baltimore Ravens matchup a can’t-miss game? Because it's always entertaining TV when the Steelers and Ravens get together. Smash-mouth football at its finest. The faint at heart should look away. Turn to a reality show or something.(Photos: courtesy NFL)

Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles, September 21 - Ever since coach Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles cut Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson in late March — because of his alleged gang ties — and the Washington Redskins signed him earlier this month, the Eagles-Redskins game in Philadelphia instantly became the must-see game in 2014. What's the early over-under on Jackson burning the Eagles secondary for a touchdown?  (Photos from Left: Hannah Foslien/Getty Images, Elsa/Getty IMages)

Denver Broncos at Seattle Seahawks, September 21 - Can Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos avenge their embarrasing Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks in a rematch of the NFL championship game?

We will find out these answers and more during Week 3. (Photos from left: Joe Robbins/Getty Images, Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)

Philadelphia Eagles at San Francisco 49ers, September 28 - Something has to give when running back LeSean McCoy and the high-powered Eagles offense run into the stout 49ers defense. Also, Colin Kaepernick will definitely be testing Philly’s defense with his arms and legs. Should be a great game.(Photos from left: Jim Rogash/Getty Images, Michael Regan/Getty Images)

San Francisco 49ers at Denver Broncos, October 19 - The Broncos acquired veteran defensive end DeMarcus Ware to bolster their pass rush and they’ll definitely need him to pressure 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick if the Broncos are to walk out of Sports Authority Field feeling Mile High. (Photos from Left: Jamie Squire/Getty Images, Christian Petersen/Getty Images)

Green Bay Packers at New Orleans Saints, October 26 - Absolute fireworks. That’s the kind of aerial assault fans should expect when two of the games best quarterbacks — Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees — face off in the Packers’ road test against the New Orleans Saints. Expect a lot of passing yards. Oh the air up there. (Photos from left: Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images, Kent Nishimura/Getty Images)

Seattle Seahawks at Carolina Panthers, October 26 - It’s going to be fun watching Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton deal with the Seattle Seahawks secondary, including strong safety Kam Chancellor. Which Cam/Kam will win the chess match in the potentially-pivotal NFC matchup?(Photos from left: Elsa/Getty Images, Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)

Denver Broncos at New England Patriots, November 2 - It’s always a treat to see two future Hall of Famers, who still seem to be at the top of their respective games, face each other. Down 24-0 at halftime to Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos during a Week 12 home game last year, Tom Brady anchored a furious New England Patriots comeback, which ended in a 34-31 overtime victory. However, Manning led his Broncos to a 26-16 win over Brady’s Patriots when it counted most, in the AFC Championship game. What memory will these greats leave us with after this marquee Week 9 matchup? (Photos from left: Fernanda Calfat/Getty Images, Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Chicago Bears, November 23 - There’s no shortage of compelling storylines in this matchup. When Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler got injured last season, backup Josh McCown stepped in Week 9 and led the Bears to a big win over the Packers. McCown continued having solid outings until Cutler returned just weeks later. Then, this past January, the Bears signed Cutler to a $126 million extension through 2020, passing over the cheaper option in McCown. In this game, McCown will have a chance to show the Bears what they missed. Also, don't forget that Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith formerly coached the Bears from 2004-2012, so he’ll definitely be looking forward to his return to Chicago. (Photos: Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)

Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers, Thanksgiving Day, November 27 - Is this not the best rivalry in football today? The NFC West rivals split their regular season series with each team winning on its home field before the Seahawks managed to just edge the 49ers, 23-17, in the AFC Championship game and go on to win the Super Bowl. After the AFC title game, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman infamously went on a rant about 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree, calling him a “sorry receiver.” Oh yeah, these teams don’t like each other at all.(Photos from left: NFL)

New England Patriots at New York Jets, December 21 - Darrelle Revis earned his one-time reputation as the best shutdown cornerback in the NFL with the Jets, who he played his first six years with. Well, after a forgettable season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Revis committed a cardinal sin in Jets fans’ eyes by signing with the New England Patriots during this offseason. What kind of reception will he get from Gang Green’s faithful in his return to New York playing for the Jets' nemesis? (Photos from left: Gregory Shamus/Getty Images, NFL)

Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings, December 28 - Jared Allen and Adrian Peterson were teammates on the Minnesota Vikings for the last six years. It’s going to be something special to witness come Week 17, when Allen, one of the league’s best defensive ends, has to chase down and tackle Peterson, arguably the NFL’s top running back. The Bears-Vikings regular-season finale is laced with playoff implications. Jared, Adrian, Vikings and Bears…oh my!(Photos: Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)
