The Eagles got screwed by the league. And two reasons show exactly why.

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

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.

When teams play certain opponents can matter as much as the competition itself. Carmen Vitali identifies six clubs that would especially benefit from a fast start to 2025.

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.

“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 Commanders will play in six prime-time games this season. The NFL certainly wanted the NFC East more than any other division, as the Commanders, Eagles, and Cowboys will each play six prime-time games. Only the Kansas City Chiefs will be on prime time more often, as the Chiefs are scheduled for seven prime-time games.
