The Philadelphia Eagles won’t extend their seven-game losing streak this weekend. They also won’t have an opportunity to end it.
Philadelphia is on its Week 10 bye, giving the coaching staff more time to evaluate a 2-7 team before Pittsburgh visits Lincoln Financial Field on Nov. 22. For fans, the break offers a chance to watch future opponents and follow developments that could shape the Eagles’ offseason.
Here are five Sunday games worth watching. All kickoff times are Eastern, and afternoon broadcast availability depends on your market.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals
Sunday, Nov. 15, 8:20 p.m. — NBC
This is the most useful scouting opportunity on the list. Pittsburgh is Philadelphia’s next opponent, making its prime-time meeting with Cincinnati a chance to evaluate the challenges
awaiting the Eagles after the bye.
Watch how the Steelers protect the quarterback, handle pressure, and finish possessions. Philadelphia needs more consistent defensive disruption, and this matchup could reveal situations it can try to create. The Eagles will also get a look at how Pittsburgh defends an offense capable of challenging it through the air.
San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys
Sunday, Nov. 15, 4:25 p.m. — Fox
Two remaining Eagles opponents meet in a game with an obvious divisional connection. Philadelphia visits Dallas on Thanksgiving and travels to San Francisco in Week 17.
The Cowboys already beat the Eagles 38-21, leaving Philadelphia with considerable work before the rematch. This game provides another look at Dallas’ passing attack and whether San Francisco can disrupt its timing. Both teams will require a better Eagles performance than the one Philadelphia has regularly delivered.
Miami Dolphins at Indianapolis Colts
Sunday, Nov. 15, 1 p.m. — CBS
Indianapolis visits Philadelphia in Week 14, giving this matchup immediate scouting value, and it also matters to the early draft picture, with the Colts entering Week 10 at 2-7 and Miami at 1-7.
For Eagles fans evaluating possible wins down the stretch, watch whether Indianapolis can sustain drives and protect the football. A struggling opponent does not guarantee Philadelphia anything, but this game offers a closer look at one of its more realistic opportunities.
Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals
Sunday, Nov. 15, 4:05 p.m. — CBS
Arizona hosts Philadelphia in Week 13, giving teams another chance to study a future opponent. The Eagles have already faced the Rams, providing a familiar reference point for evaluating the Cardinals.
Focus on Arizona’s offensive operation and how its defense handles different formations. Philadelphia will have extra preparation time following Thanksgiving before making this trip, increasing the importance of finding an approach it can execute consistently.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans
Sunday, Nov. 15, 1 p.m. — Fox
Jordan Davis’ move to Jacksonville gives Eagles fans a new reason to follow the Jaguars. His involvement will be worth monitoring as he adjusts to a different defensive rotation.
There is also a draft connection. Philadelphia acquired Jacksonville’s 2027 first-round pick in the Davis trade, linking the Jaguars’ finish to that selection's eventual position. One November result won’t determine the return, but Jacksonville now belongs on Philadelphia’s weekly watch list.
Kickoff times and networks follow the NFL’s Week 10 schedule.
