The NFL's Peter Schrager joined the NFL on ESPN to discuss the schedule, and when he was asked what the league is trying to tell us without actually telling us, one part of his answer was about the Commanders.

The Washington Commanders are slated to play in ten standalone windows during the 2025 NFL season, the latest effect of the franchise's revival.

The NFL is invested in this renewed rivalry. The Eagles have the NFL's most talented roster, while the Commanders are an up-and-comer led by perhaps a generational quarterback. With scheduled meetings in Weeks 16 and 18, the league believes the NFC East will be decided between the Commanders and Eagles late in the season.
