The Eagles have an opportunity to clinch a playoff berth in the NFC with a win over Washington on Sunday and help from three other teams.
Philadelphia needed a Vikings loss to the Packers on Sunday night as part of that scenario, and other percentages just increased after Minnesota star quarterback Kirk Cousins was ruled out after being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 player.
Another star player for Sunday’s opponent, Antonio Gibson, was also ruled out and placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list as well.
