We learned back in May that the NFL schedule makers did the Philadelphia Eagles no favors for the first month of the season.
Philly’s first four games include a division rival on opening night, a Super Bowl LIX rematch (on the road) in Week 2, and back-to-back showdowns with reigning NFC playoff qualifiers to finish the month of September. That the Eagles enter their Week 3 home game with the Los Angeles Rams at 2-0, despite admittedly ironing out some kinks on offense, is an accomplishment in itself.
Similar to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Rams are starting to feel like a divisional opponent for the Eagles.
