2021 NFL schedule: Three Eagles games for fans to circle

Editor's note: NFL.com is breaking down all 32 team schedules for the 2021 season. Here are the three games Philadelphia Eagles fans should circle on their calendars this fall:

Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles, Week 4, Oct. 8, 1 p.m. ET (CBS)

It’s the first trip to Philadelphia for ex-Eagles coach Andy Reid since becoming a Super Bowl champion. Perhaps an appreciative welcome awaits Reid despite his 2-0 record vs. the Eagles since becoming Chiefs coach, but that certainly won’t be the case for Patrick Mahomes’ debut in Philly. The powerhouse Chiefs will always be a highlight for anyone’s home schedule, and it offers the ultimate test for first-year head coach Nick Sirianni, who started his NFL coaching career in K.C.

Los Angeles Chargers at Philadelphia Eagles, Week 9, Nov. 7, 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS)

The Eagles host a gauntlet of teams outside the division (Bucs, 49ers, Saints, Chiefs) but a visit from the Chargers rehashes a rare-yet-exciting matchup historically. Ten of 12 total meetings between these teams have ended in a one-score game. While Jalen Hurts still needs to earn the starting role this offseason, a duel with fellow second-year QB Justin Herbert seems fit to maintain a theme of excitement.

Philadelphia Eagles at New York Jets, Week 13, Dec. 5, 1 p.m. ET (CBS)

Thanks to the addition of a 17th game this season, we will get to see if the Eagles can maintain an astounding 11-0 all-time record versus the New York Jets. Led by two rookie head coaches who specialize on opposite sides of the ball, this Eagles-Jets matchup is interesting for several reasons and it sizes up to be a competitive affair.
