Jaguars-Eagles has been moved to Sunday afternoon into the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff window.
Instead of watching the 2-5 Jaguars take on the 4-2 Eagles on primetime next week, people will instead watch the 4-3 Colts take on the 5-1 Vikings, who are now the surprise team in the NFL this season.
The Vikings suffered their first loss of the season on Sunday to their division rivals, the Detriot Lions. Minnesota has one of the best offenses in the league, led by Sam Darnold, and their defense has been a surprise thus far, led by defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
The Colts have a young, up-and-coming team led by their former No. 4 overall pick, quarterback Anthony Richardson. Although he has yet to live up to his potential due to injury and poor play, the hope is that he will eventually figure it out and be one of the more explosive quarterbacks in the league on the road.
The Eagles have one of the best offenses in the league (on paper), led by quarterback Jalen Hurts. Hurts and the Eagles haven't hit their stride on offense yet, as they are ranked 17th in points per game and ninth in yards per game, but they are still an exciting bunch and could be a top contender in the NFC when it's all said and done.
As for the Jaguars, they have fallen flat on their face thus far through seven weeks of the season. Jacksonville sits at 2-5 and although they have won two of their last three games, it's been against poor competition.
The Jaguars, led by Trevor Lawrence, were supposed to be one of the top teams in the AFC by now. However, they have yet to live up to the hype. Since winning the AFC South in 2022 and winning a playoff game against the Chargers in comeback fashion, Jacksonville has not done anything since.
They were off to a hot start last season but finished the season 3-6 after their bye after starting the season 6-2. The Jaguars missed the playoffs and have won only three of their last eight games dating back to the 2023 season finale.
At the end of the day, the NFL is an entertainment product, and fans want to see the best product on the field. As things stand, that does not apply to the Jaguars.
