The 2022 NFL schedule has been released and the Eagles landed five prime-time matchups amid a short-term rebuild that sees the organization returning to prominence after returning to the playoffs in 2021.
One reward that comes with playing good football and being relevant late in the season is the opportunity to have a less important matchup switched out in place of a matchup with significant meaning and postseason implications.
The formula was created by the NFL to prevent fans from having to sit through meaningless football late in the season.
During the 2022 season, flexible scheduling for Sunday night may be used twice between Weeks 5–10, Weeks 11–15, and Week 17. In those select flex scheduling weeks, the games listed for the Sunday night window are tentative and subject to change.
In Week 18, two Sat. p.m. and Sun. p.m. games will be announced no later than Jan. 3.
With the Eagles facing five NFC teams in their final five and three within the division, here are the games that could be flexed to prime time.
