Last season’s disappointment has left a bad taste in the mouths of their fans. However, the Philadelphia Eagles have a clean slate and a fresh schedule for the 2024 NFL season.
The disastrous collapse leaves Nick Sirianni in a tough position under a lot of pressure to succeed quickly. Jalen Hurts didn’t meet high expectations in 2023. He similarly needs a strong effort to bounce back to put the Eagles back into Super Bowl contention.
Eagles Opponents in 2024
The second-place finish should provide them with a narrowly lighter schedule without some of the formidable first-place opponents they played in 2023. Their NFC South opponents didn’t pose the most imposing threats last season. There’s plenty of room for a breakout team to emerge as a division powerhouse, however.
The Eagles will face the AFC North for the first time since the disastrous 2020 season when they went 0-3-1 outside the conference. Two matchups against each NFC East opponent will continue as they have since the NFL realigned its division placements before the 2002 season.
The addition of the 17th game also means an additional game against a second-place team. The Eagles will face Doug Pederson and the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024.
A New Opportunity in Brazil
As the schedule always does, the 2024 slate offers plenty of opportunities for exciting trips to see the Eagles play on the road. They’ll open the season on Friday, Sept. 6 in Sao Paolo, Brazil to continue the NFL’s international expansion.
The brand new opportunity should provide some excitement for traveling Eagles fans looking for a getaway from Philadelphia. Wait until Philly Sports Trips gets a hold of the new schedule.
The neutral site will count as one of the nine home games for the Eagles, however. They’ll play eight true road games and eight true home games after traveling for nine in 2023.
