Predicting which game the Eagles will wear their alternate Kelly Green uniforms
Philadelphia announced its 2025 schedule on Wednesday night. They will face the gauntlet of juggernauts in the NFC North and AFC West and division winners in the NFC West, AFC East, and NFC South.

One key aspect of the schedule release is predicting wins and losses, and when the team will wear alternate all-black or Kelly Green uniforms.
Philadelphia has one of the top uniform combinations in the NFL, and if DeVonta Smith had his way, the Midnight Green home jersey would become an alternate or throwback. Fans and Eagles players have clamored for a jersey switch, and while the Kelly Green isn't likely to become a permanent norm, it could be worn more often.
Back in March, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reported that the NFL is updating its uniform policy to allow teams to wear throwback or alternate uniforms up to four times per season. Philadelphia last regularly wore Kelly Green jerseys (and helmets) in the 2010 season. Shortly after, the NFL implemented a rule requiring teams to have only one color as a safety precaution.
The Eagles will now have Kelly Green and the all black helmet and uniform combinations going forward.

With that news and the schedule complete, we're predicting when Philly will wear Kelly Green throwbacks in games.
Week 1: Thursday, September 4: Home vs. Dallas Cowboys at 8:20 PM (NBC^)
The most in-demand game on the 2025 NFL schedule, the Eagles will raise a Super Bowl banner and kickoff the season at home against the Dallas Cowboys. A throwback feel is appropriate.
Week 8: Sunday, October 26: Home vs. New York Giants at 1 PM+ (FOX)
The Giants have retooled, added Russell Wilson at quarterback, and Abdul Carter in the NFL draft. This is the second of two meetings, and throwback jerseys for both teams are appropriate.
Week 15: Sunday, December 14: Home vs. Las Vegas Raiders at 1 PM+ (FOX)
Ashton Jeanty, Geno Smith, and Chip Kelly will lead a retooled Raider offense into Lincoln Financial Field.

Why Philip Rivers likely won't be a first ballot entry into Hall of Fame in 2026
Former Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers becomes eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2026. And while his former teammate, tight end Antonio Gates, was enshrined into Canton on Saturday, Rivers may have to wait a but longer. Rivers will be part of a loaded list of first-time candidates in 2026, and that is the main reason why Rivers could be bypassed when the committee votes next spring. On that list are Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald and Bill Belichick. All three of them should pretty much be considered locks to be chosen for next year's class and since a class is generally pretty small (the 2025 class only had four members), Rivers will probably be waiting at least one more year. Eli Manning, who was chosen in the same draft as Rivers and is connected to him historically as the two were traded for each other, won two Super Bowls while Rivers never played in the big game. Manning was not chosen in his first year of eligibility, but because he won those two Super Bowls (and beat Tom Brady in each of them), one would think he'll get in ahead of Rivers. Then you have the fact that the committee often doesn't choose multiple players who played the same position to be in the same class, and that could keep Rivers waiting for several years. Make no mistake, though there are some who will argue whether or not Rivers deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, he undoubtedly does. He ranks sixth in NFL history in passing yards (63,440), sixth in touchdown passes (421) and ninth in wins (134). READ:Chargers great Antonio Gates elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame Four of the quarterbacks who have more wins than Rivers (Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, John Elway and Dan Marino) have already made it to Canton. The other four are Tom Brady, Brees, Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers, four players who will all join them at some point. Rivers was Chargers football for many years, a passionate player who left everything on the field and is one of the most loved and respected players in franchise history. He took the team to the playoffs six times and to the AFC Championship Game once. The only thing that eluded him was the Super Bowl. Rivers will be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame at some point, but fans may have to wait a few years for that to be a reality.
