2 ways the Eagles can clinch the NFC East in Week 17

Eagles can clinch the NFC East division with a win over the Cowboys or a Commanders loss in Week 17

The Eagles had their ten-game winning streak snapped with a 36-33 loss to the Commanders in Week 16, but Philadelphia still controls its own destiny for the division and the No. 2 overall seed.

Philadelphia has clinched a playoff berth and now wants to wrap up the division.

The NFL released official clinching scenarios for each team in Week 17, and the Eagles have two options. 

  1. PHI win or tie
  2. WAS loss or tie

Philadelphia will host Dallas at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, while Washington will host Atlanta on NBC’s Sunday night football. The Falcons will have plenty to play for in Michael Penix’s second start.

An Atlanta win would wrap up the NFC South for Raheem Morris, and the Eagles would win the division regardless of what happens earlier in the day.
