The NFL's scheduling glitch caught the attention of eagle-eyed fans today, but the league assures there's nothing to worry about. While the NFL.com schedule displayed the Eagles facing the Commanders and the Packers squaring off with the Bears on Friday, December 19, officials say the matchups remain set for Saturday, December 20.
Initial confusion spread when the four teams' websites showed no specific date or time for the games, leading many to speculate about a potential reschedule related to the college football playoff games taking place. The official website has since updated, leaving the games under an ambiguous “Games Not Yet Scheduled” label without a specified day.
Despite the technical hiccup, the league maintains that the classic Saturday clashes stand firm. Both NFC rivalries have historical significance and promise high stakes with playoff implications as both pairs of teams jostle for standings in December.
Fans can rest assured that they’ll enjoy these staple Saturday matchups as intended, despite the temporary digital oversight. While the ghost of what could have been—a rare shift to Friday night lights—flickers, the action set for December 20 remains as planned. All eyes will remain on the NFL’s announcements to see how any future scheduling quirks might unfold.
