Philadelphia Eagles schedule 2020: Ranking easiest to hardest games
By Dan Parzych
Washington Redskins: Week 1 (Away), Week 17 (Home)
Just because the Washington Redskins won just three games during the 2019 season doesn’t necessarily mean this team will finish near the bottom of the standings in the NFC for a second year in a row, especially after drafting Chase Young in April.
Even though the Ohio State star still has plenty to prove at the NFL level, Young’s potential is already high enough to the point where this addition could help the franchise take a major step forward in one of the best ways possible.
Over the last two years with the Buckeyes, Young proved to be an absolute nightmare for opposing quarterbacks, and it seems like only a matter of time before a similar impact is being made at the NFL level, even if the Redskins as a team are still a work in progress.
Take the impact expected from Young on defense on top of the fact that Washington’s offense should also see a boost now that Dwayne Haskins has some experience under his belt, the two battles with the Redskins could cause all sorts of trouble for the Eagles.
Plus, with the rivalry factor coming into play here, the Redskins will be extra motivated to show Philadelphia they have what it takes to make the race in the NFC East even more interesting for the 2020 season.
