Here’s a full breakdown of the Washington Football Team’s first opponent of 2020, the Philadelphia Eagles.

As I sit down to write this, the return of NFL football is less than one week away and my own countdown clock to the season-opening kickoff between the Washington Football Team and the Philadelphia Eagles has ticked down to 157 hours.

I know we’ve all been inundated with WFT roster moves and position battles, so I figured it was about time to look at the rest of the NFC East, and who better to begin with than those hated Eagles.

It has been a good rivalry. Pat Fisher and Harold Carmichael. Andre Waters and Jess Atkinson. The Body Bag Game. The Wild Card Revenge Game after the Body Bag Game (in which Washington sacked Randall Cunningham five times.) Good days.

There haven’t been so many memories of late. Philly has a Super Bowl title and Washington has zero playoff wins this decade.

But none of that matters come September 13, 2020. So here’s a quick look at the team WFT will be facing.
