Some random thoughts and opinions on the 2025 NFL schedule release that took place on Wednesday. • The Eagles won the Super Bowl, but the 2025 NFL schedule is all about the Chiefs.

The fusion of sports and entertainment continued on the Kansas City set of a special one-off project created by the team’s marketing department to draw attention to the 2025-26 schedule.

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Andy Reid and Co. have been to five of the last six Super Bowls, including each of the last three. They have taken home three Lombardi Trophies during that span, including in back-to-back years during the 2022 and 2023 campaigns, but will be trying to return to the top of the mountaintop in 2025.

The NFL certainly still views the Dallas Cowboys as "America's Team." They gave the Cowboys eight standalone games for the upcoming 2025 season. That's tied for the most in the league in 2025 with the three-time defending AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs and the 2024 NFC runner-up Washington Commanders for the most in the upcoming season.
