Looking at the toughest stretch of the Eagles 2023 schedule

To be the best you have to beat the best, and the Philadellphia Eagles will face a six to seven week gauntlet of playoff teams starting in Week 9.

In matter of about eight weeks, including the bye, the Eagles will face the Cowboys twice, along with the Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, and Giants.

Philadelphia has the league’s toughest schedule and they’ll need to maintain that edge and killer instinct on a week to week basis and they experience being the hunted like they’ve never seen.
