The Detroit Lions dominated much of the 2024 regular season, finishing with an impressive 15-2 record and securing the NFC’s top seed. Led by a potent offense, they appeared poised for a deep playoff run, but their playoff hopes were dashed with a surprising loss to the Commanders in their opening game.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles seized the throne, claiming both the NFC Championship and Super Bowl titles. Eager to challenge the reigning champions, Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown expressed his desire for a matchup with the Eagles in the 2025 season opener. On the February 12 episode of the “St. Brown Podcast,” he emphasized that a fully healthy Lions defense would have had a significant impact during their playoff run, saying, “You’d see how our healthy defense operates.”
Given the Eagles’ upcoming schedule, which includes three other playoff teams at home, a season-opening clash with the Lions seems to be the most intriguing option. Fans are excited at the prospect of a potential NFC Championship preview, and with key players like St. Brown onboard, the hype for this matchup is already building.
