TIME CHANGE: Eagles vs Buccaneers – Schedule Advisory Due to Humberto

Article image

Tampa, FL — Week 4 brings a heavyweight NFC clash as the Philadelphia Eagles visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. The playoff-tinged matchup now carries a weather twist: Tropical Storm Humberto could bring heavy rain and 25–35 mph winds (with higher gusts) across the Tampa Bay area.

As of now, kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 4:25 PM EDT. The NFL and meteorological agencies are closely monitoring Humberto’s track. The league’s top priority is the safety of players, staff, and fans; therefore, the start time may be adjusted (earlier/later or moved to a different day) depending on conditions and local infrastructure.


Storylines to Watch

Jalen Hurts vs. Baker Mayfield
If wind and rain limit deep shots, the value of RPOs, quick game, and QB runs for Hurts only rises. For the Bucs, Mayfield must protect the football and lean on play-action in tough conditions.

Trench battle spotlight
The Eagles’ elite OL meets Vita Vea, Lavonte David, and a disciplined Bucs front seven. Conversely, Philly’s pass rush will look to keep Mayfield under steady pressure.

Playmakers in the storm
A.J. Brown/DeVonta Smith vs. Mike Evans/Chris Godwin: the weather may curb explosives, but contested-catch prowess in wind and rain can still flip the game.


Weather Factor

Raymond James is an outdoor stadium, so rain and wind can directly affect play quality:

  • Wet ball & slick turf → emphasis on runs, screens, and check-downs.

  • Special teams could swing the outcome (return fumbles, slips on punts/FGs).

  • Fourth-down decisions may be more conservative if wind complicates long field goals.


  • Fan Experience & Contingency Plans

    • Parking & Gates: Opening times may change; follow updates via Buccaneers, Eagles, and NFL apps and social channels.

  • Tickets: All tickets will be honored if the game moves to a different time or date.

  • What to Bring: Pack ponchos/rain jackets (umbrellas are often restricted). Build in extra travel time; heavy rain can cause localized flooding near Dale Mabry Hwy.

  • Tailgating: Open-flame rules may tighten under high winds—check morning advisories.


  • Broadcast

    The game is slated for FOX in the Sunday afternoon window, with market-dependent streaming options (e.g., NFL+ in the U.S. and local rightsholders). Any time change will be announced alongside updated channel/stream details.


    Odds & Series Notes

    • Spread (reference): Eagles -2.5 to -3.0 (weather could move the line).

  • Over/Under (reference): ~44.0 — wind and rain may push this lower near kickoff.

  • Recent playoff angle: Tampa Bay has held the upper hand in several recent postseason meetings, adding spice to this Florida rematch.


  • Game Schedule (Subject to Weather Updates)

    • Matchup: Philadelphia Eagles @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • Date: Sunday, September 28, 2025 (subject to change due to Humberto)

  • Kickoff: 4:25 PM EDT

  • Location: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida

  • For now, the game remains on schedule — but with Humberto closing in on Tampa Bay, Eagles–Buccaneers could be shaped as much by the skies as by the schemes. Keep alerts on, follow official updates, and travel safely!

    Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
    Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
