Philadelphia Eagles schedule: Comparing two ugly three-game stretches

Could December catapult Philly into the playoffs or do them in?

Once the Seattle game is in the books, we all enter December, where the playoff picture normally comes into focus.

Week 13 pits the “Birds” versus the Packers who will, no doubt, be looking for revenge following a home loss at Lambeau Field versus these same Eagles in Week 3 of 2019’s season. That was Philly’s first victory over Aaron Rodgers since their first-ever meeting in 2006.

Rodgers has thrown 12 touchdowns versus only three picks in six games versus the “Birds”, and it’s safe to assume that, by the time these two proud franchises meet in the latter stages of the regular season, Rodgers and company will be working on a playoff resume of their own.

Twelve days before Christmas, the Eagles get a gift few teams want as they meet future Hall-of-Fame inductee Drew Brees and what’s always a game Saints team in the last of these three games, and if that isn’t bad enough, that Week 15 game versus the Arizona Cardinals isn’t going to be a cakewalk either. You can make an argument that Philly could lose all four of these games. Let’s wrap this up.
