The Lions\u2019 loss in the divisional round of the playoffs cost them a chance to play the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown hopes the Lions get that chance in the first game of the 2025 regular season.<\/p>\n
St. Brown said on his podcast with his brothers that of the Eagles\u2019 eight home opponents in 2025, the Lions would be the best matchup for the fans \u2014 and would give the Lions a chance to establish themselves as the NFC favorites, right off the bat.<\/p>\n
\u201cEagles have the home opener next year because they won the Super Bowl,\u201d St. Brown said. \u201cCan I read you the list of teams that could be in that first game? Commanders, Cowboys, Giants, Bears, Lions, Raiders, Rams, Broncos. Out of all those teams, if you\u2019re the NFL, who are you putting in there?\u201d<\/p>\n
St. Brown\u2019s brothers both said the Lions, and St. Brown said he thinks a healthy Lions team can go to Philadelphia and win.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m saying. So we might be playing at Lincoln Financial Field,\u201d St. Brown said. \u201cYou would see with our healthy defense, how that shit operates.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lions-Eagles is one of the biggest games on the 2025 schedule no matter when it happens, but the Thursday night opener would be a great time to establish at the start of the season who the favorites are in the NFC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
