Philadelphia Eagles playoff picture
The Eagles clinched their playoff berth in Week 16 when they beat the Commanders in their first matchup this season. The Dallas Cowboys were the closest competitor for the NFC East title, but hung around in the race for the division, but eliminated themselves with a three-game losing streak in December.
The Eagles are tied with the Bears in the NFC standings, but Chicago has the tiebreaker due to their Week 13 head-to-head win in Philadelphia. If the Eagles lose their season finale or the Bears win their finale over the Lions, Philly will be the No. 3 seed. If the Eagles win and the Bears lose, Philly would move up to the No. 2 seed. The Bears are field goal favorites against the Lions.
Philadelphia Eagles playoff history
The Eagles won the NFC East for the third time in four years. This also marks their fifth straight playoff appearance and eighth in nine years. They’re the defending Super Bowl champions, won the Super Bowl the first year of this current run, and made a losing Super Bowl appearance in 2022.
This has no impact on tiebreakers.
