Heading into the final weekend of the regular season, the Eagles still have an opportunity to clinch the No. 2 overall seed in the NFC. In order for Philly to snag the second seed, two things need to happen.
Here’s what the Philadelphia Eagles know headed into their Week 18 home game against Washington: The two-time reigning NFC East champions will start their run toward a possible second straight Super Bowl at home in the wild-card round.
Technically, it's possible that the Eagles could face the Seahawks and Bears in the first round if both end up losing their division leads. Seattle could get passed by either the Rams or the 49ers, while the Bears could get passed by the Packers.
Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Washington Commanders and secured another NFC East title on Saturday.
This was not a terrific performance by the reigning Super Bowl champions, but another Washington quarterback got hurt.
All of that can happen as soon as Dec. 20 if the Eagles beat the Washington Commanders (4-10) at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. If the Eagles lose, they can clinch the division the next day with a Cowboys loss to the Los Angeles Chargers (10-4) in Arlington, Texas.
Sunday night acted as a potential NFC Championship Game preview as the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers combined for nearly 1,000 yards.
