The NFL season is winding down.
Five weeks are left in the regular season, meaning every remaining game has significant playoff implications.
Some teams have more difficult schedules than others, as PFF has recently pointed out.
They recently rated the rest of the NFL’s schedules, declaring the Dallas Cowboys have the most demanding road moving forward.

The Cowboys’ next five opponents are the Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, and the Washington Commanders.
Besides the Commanders, their other four remaining matchups are projected playoff teams.
Their road to the playoffs will not be easy, but the Cowboys could be better off if they can come through it unscathed.
This difficult stretch begins with this week’s game against the Eagles.
If the Cowboys win, they will be tied with the Eagles’ record of 10-3.
This would put them into a tie for the division lead, which seemed impossible earlier in the season.
The good news for the Cowboys is that Jalen Hurts is banged up, and his status for this upcoming game is up in the air.
If he sits out, their potential road to victory gets that much easier.
Even if they win against the Eagles this week, the Cowboys will need to keep their foot on the gas, hoping the rest of the season turns out as planned.
Having a first-round bye and home-field advantage would serve the Cowboys well, especially if they have to play a team like the Eagles in the late stages of the postseason.
