The Philadelphia Eagles are the defending Super Bowl champions and have a loaded schedule of opponents. One would think Philadelphia would be in the conversation for the most standalone games on the 2025 schedule.

The Birds stomped the Kansas City Chiefs at last season's Super Bowl, 40-22, but returning to the big game won't be easy. Yes, the Eagles are still loaded on both sides of the ball, but the team has more question marks on its roster than it did a season ago and is about to face a brutal 2025 schedule.

Long created a fake schedule that included matchups against teams not on the Eagles’ slate and games that would have forced Johnson to face some of the league’s top edge rushers in consecutive weeks. When Johnson reviewed the October portion of Long’s faux schedule, an Oct. 5 game caught him off guard.

The New York Giants, Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions were revealed to have three of the toughest schedules in the upcoming 2025 NFL season.

Fox Sports announced 11 games that will be featured as "America's Game of the Week" during the 2025 NFL regular season on Thursday.

The season openers between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens-Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers are among the most intriguing matchups to launch the 2025 NFL campaign.

“The fact that at least four — and likely more — Eagles games will be played at a time when many are watching will only make it more likely that sufficient arms will be twisted to torpedo the tush push,” Florio wrote on Tuesday.

The Eagles won't play back-to-back home games all season. That's the hand they've been dealt by the NFL's schedule makers.
