The Philadelphia Eagles knew that they had a loaded regular-season schedule and that’s one of the more frustrating aspects of the team’s 0-2-1 start. As the team heads to the Bay Area to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football, the road back to the playoffs will be a major gauntlet as the Eagles have the NFL’s toughest schedule from here on out.
The Eagles are 0-2-1. Their remaining schedule includes 5 divisional games (DAL x2, NYG x2, WAS). It also includes:

The Chiefs, Saints, Chargers Ravens, and the hated Dallas Cowboys have the easiest remaining schedule going forward.

The small room for error that the Eagles entered the 2020 season with has evaporated and with the team dealing injuries and a struggling quarterback, Doug Pederson will need to do his finest coaching job if this group is going to rally and snag one of seven NFC playoff spots.
