NFL 2025 Season Preview

The NFL is back for its 106th season, and if you thought last year was wild, wait until you see what 2025 has in store. From international showdowns to the eternal quest for the perfect “tush push,” this season promises drama, surprises, and more than a few moments that will make you question your fantasy football choices—and your sanity.

Eagles, Cowboys, and the Tush Push That Won’t Die

The defending champion Philadelphia Eagles open the season against their arch-nemesis, the Dallas Cowboys, on September 4. The Eagles are still basking in their Super Bowl LIX glory and, much to the chagrin of defensive coordinators everywhere, their signature Tush Push play survived another round of NFL owner meetings. Expect at least 26 minutes of “tush push” highlights to flood your social media feeds—because nothing says football like a pile of humanity moving two yards at a time.

International Intrigue (and Jet Lag)

This year, the NFL is taking its show on the road—again. After the Chiefs and Chargers face off in São Paulo, Brazil, in a game streamed exclusively on YouTube (because apparently, your grandma’s cable package just isn’t enough), fans will get to see games in Ireland, England, Germany, and Spain. If you’re a diehard fan, get ready to wake up at 6 a.m. to watch your team fumble in a different time zone.

Chicago Bears: From Flusing to Flashy?

Perhaps the biggest storyline is the Chicago Bears’ quest to go from worst to first. After a 5-12 season filled with “weekly ‘Flusing’” (yes, that’s a thing), the Bears have a new coach in Ben Johnson and a second-year leap expected from quarterback Caleb Williams. Analytics say a turnaround is possible, but with the second-hardest schedule in the league, Bears fans may want to keep their expectations in check—and their sense of humor ready.

Bold Predictions and Mascot Mayhem

Every season needs its bold predictions, and 2025 is no different. Will teams pass less? Will a mascot get arrested for stealing cold medicine? (Yes, that’s a real prediction.) Will the Rams survive the “Bird Gantlet,” facing every avian-themed team in the league? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: the NFL’s off-field drama might just outpace the action on the gridiron.

Super Bowl LX: Who’s Got Next?

Super Bowl LX lands at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, home of the 49ers, on February 8, 2026. Oddsmakers are already busy, but if recent years have taught us anything, it’s that predicting the NFL is like trying to guess the weather in Cleveland—good luck with that.

Final Thoughts

So buckle up for a season filled with international flair, coaching overhauls, and enough plot twists to make a soap opera jealous. Whether your team is a favorite or a lovable underdog, one thing’s certain: the 2025 NFL season will deliver touchdowns, turnovers, and plenty of laughs—intentional or otherwise.
