NFC Playoff Picture: Eagles take one step closer to the No. 1 seed

Related Topics: Philadelphia Eagles, NFC

The Philadelphia Eagles entered Week 15 with a chance to clinch the NFC East and being no worse than the No. 2 seed. With the Washington Commanders barely hanging on to beat the New Orleans Saints (missed game-winning two-point conversion attempt) in the early game window, those clinching scenarios were ruined.

The late game window went well for the Eagles, though! They beat the Pittsburgh Steelers AND they got help in the form of the Detroit Lions losing to the Buffalo Bills. The Eagles and Lions are now both 12-2 with Detroit holding the tiebreaker based on win percentage in conference games (8-1 over 7-2).
