The Philadelphia Eagles’ bye week was not bad in the sense that their postseason outlook got worse. In fact, the New York Times’ playoff simulator shows their odds are largely unchanged.
- Chances of making the playoffs: From >99% to >99%
- Chances of winning the NFC East: From 88% to 88%
- Chances of clinching the No. 1 seed: From 66% to 65%
But it was bad in the sense that they didn’t get any help from other top NFC teams losing.
The Dallas Cowboys predictably destroyed the Tommy DeVito-led New York Giants.
