10 best games on the 2023 NFL schedule: Chiefs, Cowboys and Eagles to define the season
1. Best Games On The 2023 NFL Schedule — Philadelphia Eagles at Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11
The odds of seeing a Super Bowl rematch in the following season aren’t great due to the mechanics of the NFL schedule. Each team only plays five games against the opposing conference in a given season, which means the rematch can only happen if the teams happen to draw each other’s division or the newly-added 17th game, which is a placement game.
The 17th game is how we got the Super Bowl rematch on the schedule and it will take place in Kansas City since the AFC teams host nine games this season. If the rematch is anywhere near as epic as the Super Bowl, which saw Kansas City rally from a second-half deficit to win 38-35, fans will be in for a treat.
There is also a bit of unfinished business from the game as James Bradberry’s late holding penalty took all the drama away from what should have been a spectacular finish. Seeing these teams get the chance to duke it out again without having the refs get in the way of a tremendous ending would be immensely satisfying.
There is no question that the Chiefs and Eagles are two of the most talented teams in the league this season. Seeing the rematch come up was a stroke of good luck for football fans, who will enjoy the season’s best game as a result.
