The NFL offseason got a much-needed jolt of energy on Thursday night, as the 2020 schedules for all 32 teams were released to the public. For the Washington Redskins, the upcoming slate is a mixed bag, with several winnable games at home, but many that could be challenging as well. Outside of divisional games, the Redskins will face only three teams that made the playoffs in 2019, in the Baltimore Ravens, Seattle Seahawks, and San Francisco 49ers. That doesn’t mean the other five matchups are easy though, as the Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Rams, and Arizona Cardinals are set to show great improvement this year.
While the opponent on the schedule matters, so too does the time and order of the games. Are than any stretches on the schedule that might prove easier than others? Does a bye-week come before a pivotal game? Let’s take a look.
