5 best revenge games ahead of the 2022 NFL season

#3 Week 1, Von Miller's Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Rams

Super Bowl LVI - Los Angeles Rams v Cincinnati Bengals

Despite spending less than a full season with the Los Angeles Rams, Von Miller’s impact was massive. He was part of their Super Bowl-winning team in 2022 after being traded from the Denver Broncos in late 2021.

However, the Rams decided to let him walk in free agency, and Miller went on to sign a six-year, $120 million deal with the Bills.

He will get a chance at revenge when the Buffalo Bills visit the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, on Thursday Night Football, to get the 2022 NFL season underway.

#2 Week 1, Russell Wilson's Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks

Speaking of Week 1, another blockbuster revenge game will take place that week. Russell Wilson returns to Lumen Field to face the Seattle Seahawks after he was traded to the Denver Broncos during the 2022 NFL offseason.

The Seahawks received a haul in the trade, including two first-round draft picks, as well as Drew Lock, Noah Fant and Shelby Harris. Lock will likely be the starting quarterback for Seattle, so both signal callers could be out for revenge in the same game.

#1 Week 1, Baker Mayfield's Carolina Panthers vs. Cleveland Browns

Cincinnati Bengals v Cleveland Browns

The most epic revenge game of the 2022 NFL season also comes in Week 1 when Baker Mayfield gets a chance to face off against the Cleveland Browns. Mayfield was recently traded to the Carolina Panthers for a conditional fifth-round draft pick after Cleveland traded for Deshaun Watson to be their starter going forward.

Mayfield left the Browns on less-than-friendly terms after claiming he was misled and disrespected by the team. He fell out with the franchise and departed with mixed memories of his time in Cleveland.

Mayfield will compete with fellow 2018 NFL draft quarterback Sam Darnold for the starting role in Carolina. Presuming he does get the nod, there will be fireworks when Cleveland comes to Charlotte to kick off the campaign.
