The second weekend of the 2026 NFL season is here!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s run through a Philadelphia Eagles-focused rooting guide for all of the Week 2 games.<\/p>\n
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES at TENNESSEE TITANS: There\u2019s every reason to believe the Eagles should win this game and advance to 2-0. Go Birds.<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON COMMANDERS at DALLAS COWBOYS: The Commanders played the Eagles close, sure, but the Cowboys are still the bigger threat in the division. Would be glorious to see Dallas drop to 0-2 \u2026 ahead of a Week 3 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Root for the Commanders.<\/p>\n
NEW YORK GIANTS at LOS ANGELES RAMS: If the Giants beat the Rams on Monday night, they\u2019ll be 2-0 before hosting the Titans in Week 3 and the Cardinals in Week 4. The G-Men could very well start 4-0 and perhaps even 5-0 with a game against Washington in Week 5. The Eagles shouldn\u2019t want to see the Giants get rolling, even if a Rams win isn\u2019t really ideal as it relates to potential playoff seeding scenarios down the line. Root for the Rams.<\/p>\n
CAROLINA PANTHERS at ATLANTA FALCONS: The Falcons are an ideal NFC South winner because they\u2019re just not very threatening. Root for the Falcons.<\/p>\n
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS at BALTIMORE RAVENS: The Saints might be interesting. Would be good to see them not build momentum as an NFC contender. Root for the Ravens.<\/p>\n
MINNESOTA VIKINGS at CHICAGO BEARS: The Vikings might not be bad but the Bears seem like the bigger threat in the NFC. Root for the Vikings.<\/p>\n
GREEN BAY PACKERS at NEW YORK JETS: AFC team over NFC team. Root for the Jets.<\/p>\n
CLEVELAND BROWNS at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: AFC team over NFC team \u2026 even though it\u2019s probably an exercise in futility in this case. Root for the Browns.<\/p>\n
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS at ARIZONA CARDINALS: The reigning Super Bowl champs are obviously the bigger threat. Root for the Cardinals.<\/p>\n
MIAMI DOLPHINS at SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: AFC team over NFC team. Root for the Dolphins.<\/p>\n
CINCINNATI BENGALS at HOUSTON TEXANS: The Eagles play the Texans later this season. With the hope that the Eagles will beat them, you want the Texans to have as good of a record as possible to help boost Philly\u2019s strength of victory tiebreaker. Root for the Texans.<\/p>\n
PITTSBURGH STEELERS at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: The Eagles play the Steelers later this season. With the hope that the Eagles will beat them, you want the Steelers to have as good of a record as possible to help boost Philly\u2019s strength of victory tiebreaker. Also, the Eagles own the more favorable of two 2027 fifth-round picks either from the Pats or Bears. Might as well root against New England. Root for the Steelers.<\/p>\n
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS at DENVER BRONCOS: The Eagles play the Jags this season. With the hope that the Eagles will beat them, you want the Jags to have as good of a record as possible to help boost Philly\u2019s strength of victory tiebreaker. Root for the Jaguars.<\/p>\n
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS at KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: The Eagles play the Colts later this season. With the hope that the Eagles will beat them, you want the Colts to have as good of a record as possible to help boost Philly\u2019s strength of victory tiebreaker. Root for the Colts.<\/p>\n
LAS VEGAS RAIDERS at LOS ANGELES CHARGERS: No Eagles impact but could be fun to cheer on Nakobe Dean, who now plays for the Raiders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The second weekend of the 2026 NFL season is here!
