The Philadelphia Eagles are the defending Super Bowl champions and have a loaded schedule of opponents. One would think Philadelphia would be in the conversation for the most standalone games on the 2025 schedule.
Turns out, the Eagles don’t have the most standalone games in their division. Philadelphia isn’t even in the top two in the NFC East in terms of standalone games.
The Washington Commanders and Dallas Cowboys lead the way in standalone games in 2025 with eight, as the NFC East rivals are tied with the Kansas City Chiefs for the most standalone games in the league. The Chiefs and Cowboys are typical ratings draws, so it wasn’t surprising to see these teams at the top of the league for standalone games. The Eagles, by the way, have seven standalone games.
The Commanders are the team the league is banking on having a good season (think the New York Jets over the past two years). Hard to fault the NFL for thinking this way, given the Commanders finished 12-5 in Jayden Daniels‘ rookie season and reached the NFC Championship Game. Washington is expected to be one of the NFC teams to compete for a Super Bowl this season, as Daniels should draw eyeballs to the television in every game he plays.
So what qualifies as a standalone game in NFL? These are the qualifications:
- Prime-time games on Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday nights
- International games
- Thanksgiving and Christmas games
- Late-season Saturday games
The Commanders are scheduled for eight of these standalone games in 2025, and here they are:
Here is how many standalone games each team has in the 2025 season:

How to watch the WNBA in 2025: Broadcast info, streaming schedule and national TV games
Behold — the most anticipated WNBA season ever. That is not a reach. Last year set records for attendance and viewership, capped off by an all-time Finals series that packed out Manhattan streets and gave a star turn to a twerking elephant. Then came the busiest, buzziest offseason in league history, along with franchise expansion and a stacked rookie draft class.AdvertisementCaitlin Clark and Angel Reese now start their second seasons, while Paige Bueckers launches her pro career off a heroic college run. The New York Liberty defend their title in Brooklyn, as the Minnesota Lynx seek revenge up north and the Las Vegas Aces reload out west. There’s so much to look forward to here.Accessing all the games across different platforms sounds decidedly less fun, though. The W’s broadcast rotation can be hard to navigate, especially as the league expands […]
Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones details Dallas’ ‘spicy’ schedule, ‘amazing’ energy at The Star
ARLINGTON, Texas — There’s no questioning that the Dallas Cowboys have one of the NFL’s toughest schedules for this upcoming season. The most difficult stretch comes between Weeks 12 and 17 when they play six games against teams that had at least 11 wins last year.That also includes three teams that went to conference championship games and both teams that played in the Super Bowl.AdvertisementCowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones attempted to find a silver lining when asked about that part of the schedule Thursday, a day after it was released.“The plus side of that is that (four of those six) are at home,” Jones said after a Professional Bull Riders news conference outside of AT&T Stadium. “I love it for our fans who are going to get to see us compete. You got to play the games. The schedule […]
Colts eager to put ‘ego’ issues behind them and for DC Lou Anarumo to hold them accountable
INDIANAPOLIS — DeForest Buckner’s tone was different as he entered the Indianapolis Colts media room last week and plopped down in a chair to speak to reporters for the first time in months. He began by expressing gratitude about the birth of his third child and first daughter, Gianna Marie, who arrived in April, and joked that he’s already sweeter to her than his two sons.Advertisement“When you’re tired and stuff like that, it’s kind of like, ‘Oh, what do you need, baby girl?’” Buckner said. “Versus (with my boys) being like, ‘Aw, what now?’”Buckner cracked a wide smile as he laughed about his growing family before flipping his attention to his family on the field. Five months ago, when Buckner was in the same room, in the same spot, he vented about a failed 2024 campaign. The star defensive tackle […]
Will the real Connor Hellebuyck please stand up? Jets goalie’s legacy on the line in Game 6
The “M-V-P” chant started when he was announced as a starter, with Canada Life Center’s foundations quaking from the cacophonous sound of 15,000 fans dressed in unison and screaming in unison. They were cathartic chants, encouraging, willing Connor Hellebuyck to be the goaltender they knew he could be, not the one they knew he could devolve into.AdvertisementThe chant picked back up again early in the third period, when Hellebuyck made a rather routine save on a Miro Heiskanen shot. This time, they were delirious, pure joy, part of a residual giddiness from Nikolaj Ehlers’ five-on-three power-play goal that had just put the Winnipeg Jets up 2-0.When Hellebuyck stopped Matt Duchene a few minutes later, the chant was revived yet again, this time louder, more forceful. It felt defiant, a top-of-their-lungs message to the Dallas Stars and the hockey world, the […]
Alex Morgan’s San Diego Wave investment is the latest example of USWNT alumni backing NWSL teams
Alex Morgan announced this week that she is returning to the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) — just not to the pitch. The former U.S. women’s national team captain and two-time World Cup winner joined the ownership group behind the San Diego Wave, the club she helped put on the map when it launched in 2022.AdvertisementFor Morgan, it is a full-circle moment.“San Diego is where I’ve built my home, where I am raising my children, and found a purpose beyond my playing career,” she said in a statement announcing the investment. “I believed in Wave FC before a single match was played, and I still believe this club has the power to change the future of women’s sports.”Morgan is part of a growing wave of former players investing in the league they helped build, and betting big on a future […]
