Philadelphia Eagles 2020 schedule release: Games, dates and times
By Nick Villano
The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to build on their NFC East title in 2019. The schedule provides matchups that could make or break them.
Once again, the Philadelphia Eagles surprised us in 2019.
No matter what we expect, it seems they do the opposite. Just about everyone on the team was injured at one point or another, but despite that, they recovered from a 5-7 start to make the playoffs with a winning record. A complete collapse by the Dallas Cowboys helped their case, obviously, but winning the last four games was impressive.
The Eagles made a couple additions to the team in the offseason, but there are still some questionable needs they will likely address in the NFL Draft. The receiving corps are still relying on Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson, both of which can’t stay on the field. Meanwhile, the running back corps has Miles Sanders, who was good down the stretch but unproven, and Boston Scott are the top two players at the position.
When the Eagles’ schedule is announced, we will update immediately. Here are the team’s 2020 opponents, home and away.
Home Games: Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington Redskins, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, New Orleans Saints
Away Games: Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington Redskins, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers
The Eagles have huge non-divisional matchups with the likes of the New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. They literally have to play the four teams with the best record in the NFC this season, on top of playing the NFC champions from the year prior.
The Eagles will have to pull out all the stops to make headway this season, and they cannot get out to the start they did last year. If they fall under .500 after the first month, they don’t have the right opponents to turn it around.
