Eagles clinch playoff berth with win over Panthers, Cardinals loss to Seahawks

Eagles clinch playoff berth with win over Panthers, and Cardinals loss to Seahawks

Philadelphia entered Week 14 with multiple scenarios where they could clinch their fourth straight playoff berth under head coach Nick Sirianni.

Thanks to the Eagles’ 22-16 win over the Panthers, coupled with the Lions’ win on Thursday night and the Cardinals’ loss to the Seahawks on Sunday, the Birds are in the postseason and looking to lock down the No. 2 seed.

The Eagles control their destiny in the division and can still finish with the No. 1 seed if they win out and Detroit loses two of its final four games.

Detroit will face Buffalo and Minnesota to end the season, while Philadelphia still has to face Pittsburgh before finishing with three straight NFC East foes.

The Philadelphia Eagles are among three NFC teams that can clinch a playoff spot with a win in Week 14

The Eagles spent the early part of the season stacking wins, and even after a 42-19 loss to the 49ers last Sunday, Nick Sirianni’s team still has created a clinching scenario for Week 14.

All Philadelphia has to do is snap the Dallas Cowboys’ 14-game home winning streak in a Sunday night showdown.

The NFL just released the clinching scenarios, and three NFC teams can lock up spots, with the Eagles or Cowboys having to wait a week based on the outcome of their game.

The AFC has a much tighter race, and even with two teams having nine wins, their playoff picture is not so clear.
