Brockers isn't the only former NFL player to say this. Ex-NFL receiver James Jones also picked the Rams as the top contender against the Eagles in 2025. The two teams will get a chance to settle this argument (in the regular season, at least) as early as Week 3. But it wouldn't be a shock to see another matchup sometime in the NFC playoffs.

TheRams.com's offseason opponent breakdown series for 2025 continues with the team's road matchup against the Eagles in Philadelphia.

The Los Angeles Rams finished the 2024 season strong, but Matthew Stafford and Co. got off to a rough start. They began the campaign 1-4, with Stafford completing 67.4% of his passes for 1,238 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions.

Many people thought the NFL would choose a Rams-Eagles rematch in Week 1 but the league is going a different direction

Saquon Barkley helped bring the Eagles their second Super Bowl this past season, during Year 1 for the running back in Philadelphia. It was a phenomenal run for the team, one that has the running back comparing his team’s success to some of the greatest teams of all time.

The Eagles should once again be among the NFC's best teams in 2025, but they will face a tougher path to contention. Philadelphia is set to have the fourth-hardest schedule in the NFL for the 2025 season, per Sharp Football Analysis. Comparatively, they had the fourth-easiest schedule in the league last season en route to a 14-3 record.
