The 2023 NFL schedule has been revealed, and the Philadelphia Eagles will face seven quarterbacks leading 2022 playoff teams.

Returning to the Super Bowl will be daunting, as the Philadelphia Eagles will face a six to seven-week gauntlet of playoff teams starting in Week 9.

In a matter of about eight weeks, including the bye, the Eagles will face the Cowboys twice, along with the Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, and Giants.

The most brutal schedule in the league, the Eagles will open up in New England on a Tom Brady appreciation afternoon.

With the schedule live and fans starting to set travel arrangements, here are 17 storylines to follow during Philadelphia’s 2023  schedule.
