Philadelphia Eagles fans should be paying attention to more than just the Tennessee Titans showdown in Week 2 of the 2026 season.
Most Eagles fans will be focused on the Eagles-Titans game, hoping their team gets off to a 2-0 start. They also want the offense to get into a rhythm and the defense to survive the wave of injuries.
The NFL has other games that will matter to Eagles fans, and some teams they should root for. Here is a Week 2 rooting guide for the Philly fan base.
Eagles fans' Week 2 rooting guide for other NFL games
Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears
The Vikings and Bears both enter the game with a 1-0 record, but there are clear reasons to cheer for one team. Minnesota is rolling with Carson Wentz as the starter after he threw for three touchdowns in Week 1, which could give him a slight opening to win the starting quarterback job if he keeps it up. Also, the Bears play the Eagles in a critical Monday Night Football game in Week 3, so it's an easy decision on who to cheer for.
Who to root for: Vikings
Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals
Remember when Drew Lock beat the Eagles on an improbable game-winning drive in 2023 on Monday Night Football when he filled in as the Seahawks' starting quarterback? Yeah, let's not hope for anything good for him. The Seahawks are also Super Bowl contenders, and they need to be knocked down a peg or two.
Who to root for: Cardinals
Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys
This is the ultimate "we don't want either team to win the game." Both teams are 0-1, which is funny in itself, but a win could give either team some momentum. Last year, the Cowboys did tie with the Green Bay Packers, so it's not out of the realm of possibility to see it again this season (and it would be greatly appreciated).
Who to root for: Neither (please give us a tie)

New York Giants at Los Angeles Rams
In a world where the Giants lost and the Rams won last week, the Giants winning might actually be the preferred result, since the Rams looked like a juggernaut on paper. After just seven points and a loss, Los Angeles looks way worse, while New York has momentum from the 28-20 win over the Cowboys last week. No, the Giants can't win this game no matter what.
