For the first time this season, no NFL team will need to face down the reigning Super Bowl champions.
The Philadelphia Eagles have Week 9 off. They're one of four teams with a bye this week and the only NFC East team without a game.
Four teams with a Week 9 bye match the second-highest total for the season. The biggest bye week was in Week 8, when six teams – including three of the NFC West's four teams – did not play.
Philadelphia enters its bye week off a divisional victory over the New York Giants. Running back Saquon Barkley had his first game of the season with more than 100 rushing yards, and quarterback Jalen Hurts threw four touchdown passes in a Week 8 game for a third straight season.
After a one-week break, the Eagles start the second half of the 2025 season with a bang. They'll play a "Monday Night Football" game in prime time to conclude Week 10.
Here's what to know about Week 9:
