The Philadelphia Eagles today announced their 2007 schedule. The Eagles will begin the regular season on the road for the third straight year as they visit Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, September 9. The Eagles are slated to play in four primetime games in 2007, including their home opener on ESPN’s Monday Night Football vs. the Washington Redskins on September 17. The three other primetime games on the schedule all occur on Sunday night on NBC: vs. the Giants in New York on September 30, vs. Dallas at Lincoln Financial Field on November 4, and at New England on November 25.

Philadelphia also has two nationally televised Sunday afternoon contests on FOX vs. Chicago on October 21 and at Dallas on December 16. The Eagles conclude their regular season campaign at home for the fourth straight year as they host the Buffalo Bills on December 30.

“It’s always an exciting day around the NFL when the schedule is announced,” said head coach Andy Reid. “It’s exciting for the teams and for the fans, alike. We have a challenging schedule ahead of us, but again, we’ll take our one-game-at-a-time approach.”
