The Philadelphia Eagles will open the 2024 NFL season on Friday, September 6 against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil. Philadelphia started last season with a 10-1 record before spiraling out of control. The Eagles finished with an 11-6 record before losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Wild Card Round 32-9.
A lot of Philadelphia Eagles were calling for head coach Nick Siranni last season to be fired after that collapse. Philadelphia has the most talent in the NFC East this season. After the Dallas Cowboys won the NFC East a season ago, can the Eagles win it again? Also, what are the games to watch for on the Eagles’ schedule this season?
The Philadelphia Eagles Game To Watch For on the Schedule Is When They Go On the Road and Face the New York Giants on October 20

The Eagles and the Giants rivalry is going to take another level when they face each other on Sunday, October 20. Saquon Barkley left the New York Giants in NFL free agency this offseason for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Philadelphia fans always take the trip up the New Jersey Turnpike to go see Philadelphia play against the New York Giants. A season ago, the Eagles were embarrassed in Week 18 on the road against the New York Giants. This will also be the first game that Barkley faces his former team and the Giants fanbase will be booing him big time.

Is it possible that this Week 17 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles will be for the NFC East title once again? It is possible that only one team from the NFC East make it to the playoffs this season. The Cowboys and the Eagles do not like each other at all.
Could it also be the final time that Dak Prescott and Jalen Hurts face off against each other at the quarterback position? Prescott will be a free agent at the end of the season for the Dallas Cowboys. If he were to flop in this game, this would give owner Jerry Jones another reason to dump him.
December 15 vs Pittsburgh Steelers

The Keystone State rivalry will be renewed when the Pittsburgh Steelers come on the road to the Linc against the Philadelphia Eagles. Pittsburgh could very well be fighting for their playoff lives against Philadelphia. Russell Wilson could be on the bench for Justin Fields at the quarterback position by then.
This could also be a game that ruins the Eagles season depending on where both teams are in the NFL standings in the middle of December. Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin never settles for mediocrity.
