The Philadelphia Eagles did not play a football game on Sunday since it was their bye week. A number of teams did play football games this weekend, however, and some of them had an impact on the NFC playoff picture. Here’s an updated look at the standings.
CONFERENCE
If the season ended today (it doesn’t), these six teams would make the playoffs.
1 - Philadelphia Eagles: 8-1 overall, 6-0 conference
2 - Minnesota Vikings: 7-2 overall, 5-1 conference (direct tie-breaker over Saints)
3 - New Orleans Saints: 7-2 overall, 5-1 conference
As you can see, the Eagles are in good shape at No.
