The Lions’ defeat in the divisional round of the playoffs ended their opportunity to face the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. Now, Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is hoping that the Lions get that chance in the opening game of the 2025 regular season.<\/p>\n
On his podcast with his brothers, St. Brown mentioned that out of the Eagles\u2019 eight home opponents for 2025, the Lions would offer the most exciting matchup for fans \u2014 and could give the Lions a chance to assert themselves as NFC contenders right from the start.<\/p>\n
\u201cEagles have the home opener next year because they won the Super Bowl,\u201d St. Brown explained. \u201cLet me list the teams that could be in that first game: Commanders, Cowboys, Giants, Bears, Lions, Raiders, Rams, Broncos. Who do you think the NFL would choose?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Both of St. Brown\u2019s brothers picked the Lions, and St. Brown believes that a fully healthy Lions team could go to Philadelphia and secure a win.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m saying. We might be playing at Lincoln Financial Field,\u201d St. Brown said. \u201cWith our healthy defense, you\u2019d see how that thing operates.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Lions-Eagles matchup is one of the most anticipated games of the 2025 season, regardless of when it happens, but the Thursday night season opener would be a perfect moment to show who the real NFC favorites are from the start.<\/p>\n
