With a win this Sunday over the Washington Commanders, the Philadelphia Eagles will be crowned the 2024 NFC East Champions. However, for both teams, the greater focus in this game may be how the outcome affects them in the upcoming playoffs.
Currently, Philly is tied with the Detroit Lions at the top of the NFC. They’ve already clinched a playoff spot and will likely win the division even without beating Washington this week. The Eagles’ biggest goal now is passing the Lions for the coveted number-one seed and the first-round bye that comes with it.
