Doug Pederson discusses the possibility of resting starters in Eagles’ final two games

As previously mentioned, the Philadelphia Eagles could potentially clinch the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC playoff picture prior to their game against the Oakland Raiders on Monday night. Such a situation would require the Packers beating the Vikings in Minnesota this Saturday.

If the Eagles DO clinch before Monday, which isn’t guaranteed (especially with Aaron Rodgers’ status up in the air), head coach Doug Pederson will have to decide if he wants to play his starters in a meaningless game or rest them.

Pederson was asked about the situation during his noon press conference.
