The Philadelphia Eagles are sitting on slim playoff hopes after the Cowboys loss in New England and they’ll likely need a run similar to last seasons to ensure postseason play.
With Carson Wentz having his worst performance as a pro, the Eagles fell to 5-6 on the season after losing to the Seahawks 17-9 at home.
With five weeks left in the season and the easiest portion of the Birds season approaching, here’s an updated look at the NFC East standings and the NFC standings as a whole.
