The NFL schedule tries to be fair, but some teams get a tougher draw. With the 2026 schedule released, some teams got a favorable schedule, while others face a challenge. For example, the Commanders have the second-easiest schedule based on last year's records. The Giants also have a good start with easier games early in the season. The Browns need time to find their quarterback, and their schedule provides it. The schedule can make or break a team's season, giving some teams a significant advantage.
