Just because the Eagles aren’t playing today doesn’t mean fans don’t have games to watch and teams to root for.
Despite an injury to starting running back Ryan Mathews, a complete lack of a wide receiving threat and a make-shift offensive line, the Eagles still remain alive in the NFC playoff hunt.
On Thanksgiving, everything went the Bird’s way. First, the Cowboys (10-1) topped Washington (6-4-1), preventing them from pulling away from the Eagles in the wild-card hunt. As painful as it must have been to watch the Cowboys win, the Eagles were never going to catch them for the NFC East title, anyway.
