Everybody, the 2025 NFL schedule officially has been released. Look at that. Has been released in big letters. I love it. It comes out swinging early. Some heavy hitter matchups. The defending champs are hosting the Cowboys. The Chiefs headed to Brazil taking on the Chargers and so much more. We’re glad you’re with us today. We got Mina Kim, Ryan Clark, Adam Shfter along for the ride. There’s a lot to get to you guys. So, let’s talk about the games we’re most excited. Mina, kick us off. What stuck out to you? I’m going to start with an easy one. Week one, Ravens Bills. I mean, come on, right? You’ve got the reigning MVP versus the guy who almost won MVP. So, you could argue it’s a revenge game for Lamar, but it’s also a revenge game for these Buffalo Bills because the last time they played in the regular season, the Ravens went into Buffalo and stomped on them. So, I’m really excited to see these two teams face off. Should be two of the best teams in the AFC. a test immediately for both squads ahead of the season. Well, you know, I tried to give Lidell like six other games before we finally got to this one, but apparently all of those games were already in the rundown. So, I went all the way to Christmas, the to the Commanders and the Cowboys. Again, Mina Kimes last year showed out for the family on Netflix, and I can’t wait to see where the Cowboys are in this gauntlet of games they have after week 11. And we know that Jaden Daniels made his name down the stretch of last season and we get to see him as a gift on Christmas from Old Staint Nick. All right. The last time the Cowboys played in Philadelphia in week one was 1970, 55 years ago. It came at Franklin Field. The last year before the Eagles moved into the vet, which they’re no longer at. Well, the Cowboys, for the first time in 55 years, are back in Philadelphia in week one. It’s the Thursday night opener. It’s the kickoff to the whole season. It gets us ready for all these other games that we’re talking about. So, Cowboys and Eagles week one. Let’s go, baby. Oh, let’s go. I love that, Adam. Uh, I’m excited for Bears and Commanders week six on Monday Night Football. The quarterback matchup. It’s always going to be a fascinating connection between Caleb Williams and Jaden Daniels going one and two overall in the 2024 NFL draft. But remember last year it was the crazy Hail Mary to win that game for the Commanders. Really changed trajectories of both of those team seasons. So can’t wait to see that one once again and it’ll be right here on ABC and ESPN. Now speaking of Monday Night Football, here’s a look at the full schedule. We’re going to have a total of 23 games across our ESPN family of networks, ABC, ESPN Plus, and ESPN, including double headers in week two, week four, week six, week seven, and the final week of the season. Mina, when you look at that schedule in its entirety, what stands out to you about Monday Night Football? I’m really interested in Philadelphia traveling to Green Bay, a rematch of last week’s week one game in Brazil. Um, and you remember that game, of course, Jordan Love got hurt. We were worried he was out for the season. He came back, but it kind of felt like the Packers had ups and downs after that point. These are two very good teams. I think teams a lot of us expect obviously to be in the playoffs next year. Eagles being the reigning Super Bowl champs. So, it’s a big test for a young Green Bay team that is going to be looking to get over the hump of losing the playoffs last season. You know what? It’s also always exciting to see the teams that earn their way on to Monday night. Look at the Carolina Panthers. Think about where we all were in Philadelphia. I believe it was early on in the season, maybe week two or three. And we were talking about Bryce Young maybe never getting another opportunity to be the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, but we’re going to see them on Monday Night Football versus the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara. And then also, you think about some of these other teams like Chargers Eagles. The Chargers trying to ascend. They go, they get a running back early on in this draft and now you have Jim Harbaugh with his opportunity to truly put his imprint on this team against the defending champion. And I think what’s big for me as well is the Cowboys. The Cowboys before they’re buy, they’re on Monday Night Football. And then in week 11, they come back and they’re on Monday Night Football. And then they start a gauntlet of games that gives them six games in less than a month. So if they don’t play big on that Monday night, right after their buy, it could be downhill for Jerry and America’s team. And we’re going to see some teams on Monday night that we don’t ordinarily see. You mentioned the Carolina Panthers, the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football. And clearly the league believes in the Atlanta Falcons this year because they’re scheduled for two home games on Monday Night Football. Five prime time games in all. So the Falcons liked Michael Penn at number eight in last year’s draft and so did the NFL apparently by scheduling the Falcons as often as they have in prime time. Go Falcons. Uh, okay. Maybe the NFL has an idea that Aaron Rodgers will be a Steeler with this week one matchup. Okay, did you guys see this? The Jets and Rogers old team, of course, facing the Steelers, Justin Fields old team. I mean, it’s just fascinating all the way around. Now, obviously, we don’t know for sure that Rogers will be a Jet, but Adam’s going to tell you a little bit, I mean, excuse me, a Steeler. Adam’s going to tell you a little bit more about that in just a little bit. We know that Justin Fields will be there week one for the Jets. Adam, what is the latest on Aaron Rodgers? Could this become a double quarterback reunion game? Laura, right now everybody still is in a holding pattern and we have heard the Steelers owner, Art Rooney, come out and say that he believes Aaron Rogers ultimately will sign with Pittsburgh. Here we are in the middle of the May. There hasn’t been much progress to date. I would think that next month the Pittsburgh Steelers have a mandatory mini camp. It would be logical to think that if Aaron Rogers is going to come back and play this season, and most people still believe he will, despite the fact that he’s been non-committal so far, that the logical time to do that would be before the Steelers mandatory mini camp, which I believe is June 10th to the 12th. hard to skip a mandatory mini camp and then decide to just show up right before training camp, step in, new teammates, new offense, new coaches, new city, new home, new everything, and think that you could just pick up and start going at that point in time. So, if he’s going to sign with Pittsburgh, I think we’re a few weeks away from it potentially happening. And that would be the logical time. If it does happen, the schedule’s all set up for him to go up against all his former teams, including the New York Jets in week one. Yeah, RC, I think this game’s interesting, even if it doesn’t happen, that for whatever reason Aaron Rogers doesn’t become a Steeler. What are you looking out for in this match up with the Jets and Steelers? Well, what I will be looking out for as a father is hopefully Jordan makes the team and then his first game ever as a New York Jet in the league could be against my former team. I think that would be extremely cool and I might get an opportunity to be there. But I also also want to look at what Aaron Glenn and how Aaron Glenn puts his imprint on the New York Jets. When we think about the Pittsburgh Steelers, they are synonymous with Mike Tomlin, synonymous with what we think of him as a leader, with what we think of him as a head coach. The Jets have not had that in their building since Rex Ryan was let go. Can Aaron Glenn be a guy that comes back, instills pride into this locker room, a guy that instills hustle into this locker locker room, aggressiveness, physicality, and can they finally find their quarterback of the future in Jested Fields? I know what the Pittsburgh Steelers will be without Aaron Rodgers. What we don’t know is who we’ll get from the New York Jets, and that’ll be our first opportunity to see it. Yeah, the Jets defense, Ryan, I think you would agree, felt like they were playing below their talent level last year. So, can Aaron Glennon come in and get them playing back to it and beyond? I think uh I’m optimistic about. I have a lot of questions about the offense, though, which is not his side of the ball. He got first time offensive coordinator.
