Two 3-game gauntlets highlight make-or-break stretches of the Eagles' 2025 season
Believe it or not, it hasn't even been four months since the Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl 59. Much has happened since then. We've seen another NFL Scouting Combine and another round of Pro Days and Top 30 Visits. Free agency's frenzy came and went. The Birds added a ten-man draft class and a couple of handfuls of undrafted rookie free agents at the end of April. Advertisement Rookie minicamp is over and done with. Organized team activities come at the end of May and the beginning of June. We've known who the Eagles' opponents will be during the 2025-26 NFL season for a while. Now, we know all of the dates and times of those matchups. Two tough stretches will tell the tale of the 2025-26 Eagles regular-season campaign. We've been teased with some early information about a handful of Philly's games. As promised, Wednesday's schedule release painted the entire picture. Every game is important. No opponent can be taken for granted, and even though three tough challenges vs. the Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Rams come in as many weeks to start the season, there will be time to rebound and refocus regardless of what happens. Advertisement Two stretches, however, will write Philly's finish and set them up for an all-important postseason run: Weeks 10-12 and Weeks 16-18. Week 10 - Week 12 Green Bay Packers (AWAY) - November 10, 8:15 pm EST Detroit Lions (HOME) - November 16, 8:20 pm EST Dallas Cowboys (AWAY) - November 23, 4:25 pm EST Philly's bye week came after four games in 2024, but it came late this time. The Birds get a break to relax and recover in Week 9. Then, things get tricky. They play two of their next three games on the road. They face the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions in consecutive primetime matchups. That Monday Football affair vs. The Pack could get ugly. In Week 12, they get their second date with Dallas, this time in Arlington. Philly has lost seven of the past eight meetings with their hated rivals there. Fortunately, the win came during the most recent meeting, so the tide could turn. Week 16 - Week 18 Washington Commanders (AWAY) - December 20, 4:30 or 8:00 pm EST Buffalo Bills (AWAY) - December 28, 4:25 pm EST Washington Commanders (HOME) - TBD Advertisement Four of the Eagles' final five games last season were at home. The road game was their only loss during that stretch, one vs. the Washington Commanders. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Philly refocused and wouldn't lose again in their final six games. Four came during the postseason. One of those games was against those same Commanders in the NFC Championship Game. Three of the Eagles' final five games will be played on the road this time. Two clashes have been with those pesky Washington Commanders, sandwiching a road game vs. the defending AFC East-champion Buffalo Bills. Pay close attention to Philly's performance. The Commanders represent their biggest roadblock to repeating as NFC East champions. These final three games could determine divisional superiority.
