The last time the Los Angeles Rams played the Thursday night NFL season opener, it didn’t fare well. L.A. was blown out 31-10 by the Buffalo Bills, en route to a 5-12 campaign. With the Philadelphia Eagles again on the schedule in 2025, the Rams must get redemption by playing the reigning champs in Week 1.
Both teams are considered Super Bowl contenders in the NFC. There are many reasons to wish for this rematch immediately.
For starters, the Rams were flat-out embarrassed by Saquon Barkley, who rushed for 460 yards in two matchups last season.
