NFC playoff picture: Where the Eagles stand after Week 17 loss to the Saints

Philadelphia Eagles are currently 13-3 and the projected No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs entering a must-win Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants

Pressure bust pipes and the Eagles have some soul-searching to do after falling to 13-3 on the season after a 20-10 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Philadelphia is still in a good position for the coveted No. 1 seed – they need to defeat the New York Giants in order to clinch the NFC East. An Eagles win over the Giants would secure both the division title, a first-round bye, AND a home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

With the injury news surrounding Avonte Maddox and Lane Johnson, that potential Wild Card weekend bye is now crucial for postseason success.

Dallas (12-4) now trails Philadelphia by 1/2 a game overall after the Cowboys’ Thursday night win over Tennessee.
