NFC playoff picture: Where the Eagles stand after Week 16?

Philadelphia Eagles are currently 13-2 and the projected No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs entering Week 17 matchup against the New Orleans Saints

The Eagles are 13-2 after a 40-34 loss to the Cowboys on Saturday afternoon.

Philadelphia is still in a good position for the coveted No. 1 seed – they needed to win just one of their final two games to clinch the NFC East.

An Eagles win over the New Orleans Saints would secure both the division title, a first-round bye, AND a home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. With the injury news that was released on Monday surrounding Avonte Maddox and Lane Johnson, that potential Wild Card weekend bye is now crucial for postseason success.

Dallas (11-4) now trails Philadelphia by 1.5 games overall after the thrilling victory at AT&T Stadium.
