The NFL announced on Monday that the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will visit the Washington Commanders while the Green Bay Packers play at the Chicago Bears on Dec. 20.

The rematch of last season's NFC Championship Game should offer plenty of playoff implications come December when these NFC East rivals meet. Washington will hope that key offseason additions in Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil will provide star QB Jayden Daniels enough firepower to overtake the reigning champs in the conference pecking order.
Philadelphia sustained some key losses along its defensive front (Brandon Graham, Josh Sweat, Milton Williams) and secondary (Darius Slay, C.J. Gardner-Johnson) this offseason, but Vic Fangio should have any kinks worked out come Week 16.
The Eagles and Commanders split last year's regular-season series with Washington's win coming in a game Jalen Hurts exited early due to injury, but Philly won the ultimate rubber match in January.
Expect to see the Commanders out for revenge in front of what's sure to be an electric home crowd.

Could 2025 signal the end of the Packers' dominance in this rivalry? New Chicago head coach Ben Johnson certainly hopes so, and his offseason comments should have Green Bay fans circling this one.
The Packers have enjoyed dominance over their NFC North foe for most of the 21st century. Chicago's Week 18 win over Green Bay last season snapped an 11-game losing streak in this historic matchup, and the Bears have not won back-to-back games against the Packers since 2007.
But spirits are high in Chicago since the hiring of former Johnson, who enjoyed his own success against Green Bay in recent seasons as Lions OC. Johnson's impact on quarterback Caleb Williams should be evident by December when these two rivals clash.
The NFL will unveil the entire 2025 schedule at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday on NFL Network, NFL.com, the NFL app and NFL+.
