5 Biggest Games On Philadelphia Eagles’ 2016 NFL Schedule

By Taylor Sturm

The Philadelphia Eagles will likely take a quarterback in the 2016 NFL Draft, but they still have the talent to compete in the NFC East this season. Divisional play for Philadelphia will not begin until mid-October, so it is no surprise that the majority of their big games are against divisional opponents. Here are the five most important games on the Eagles’ 2016 schedule.

← Tip: Use keyboard arrows to navigate →

Sept. 11 vs. Cleveland Browns — The Browns are going to be a mess next season, and the Eagles can make an early statement with a blowout home win.

Oct. 16 at Washington Redskins — It is not ideal for a team to open up divisional play on the road against last season’s champions, but Philadelphia must do just that.

Nov. 6 at New York Giants — The Eagles face their three divisional opponents on the road in a span of just four weeks. This is the most obviously winnable game, and Philadelphia should be happy with going 1-2 here.

Dec. 18 at Baltimore Ravens — This is a trap game for the Eagles, as their road tilt with the Ravens is mashed between all three of their home matchups with NFC East opposition. With so much on the line in such a short period of time, a loss here could be devastating.

Jan. 1 vs. Dallas Cowboys — It is highly likely that the NFC East comes down to the last week of the regular season. A home win over the Cowboys might be enough for Philadelphia to sneak into the playoffs.
