As football fans gear up for the 2025 NFL schedule release Wednesday, several media outlets are selecting their top must-see games of the season.
NFL.com’s Kevin Patra ranked the matchup between the Detroit Lions at the Philadelphia Eagles as his second-most anticipated game of the year.
“It’s the matchup we didn’t get last postseason. The Lions and the Eagles were the clear-cut two best NFC clubs during the regular season, but then Detroit failed to win a playoff game while Philly romped to the Lombardi Trophy. ... Regardless of where on the calendar it falls, we should be in for a heavyweight bout between a Jared Goff -led explosive offense and the home runs of Saquon Barkley ,” he writes.
