The NFL schedule construction is a unique process that’s become even more complex thanks to increased parity, spread-out star power, and several dominant teams vying for a Super Bowl every year.
Philadelphia is the defending NFC Champions after going 14-3 last season, and they’ll enter 2023 with an ever higher profile after signing quarterback Jalen Hurts to a massive five-year, $255 million deal.
The Eagles have the NFL’s most challenging schedule and will face seven quarterbacks leading 2022 playoff teams.
Returning to the Super Bowl will be daunting, as the Birds will face a six to seven-week gauntlet of playoff teams starting in Week 9.
Over eight weeks, including the bye, the Eagles will face the Cowboys twice, along with the Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, and Giants.
