How Eagles can clinch a playoff berth in Week 14 originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
It’s just Week 14 in the NFL season but the Eagles (10-2) can clinch a playoff berth this weekend with a win or a tie over the Panthers and some help.
Obviously, just getting into the playoffs isn’t the ultimate goal for the 2024 Eagles. They have major Super Bowl aspirations but punching their ticket to the postseason is the first step on that road.
From the NFL, here’s how the Eagles can clinch a playoff spot this weekend:
1. PHI win + ATL loss or tie + SEA-ARI tie
2. PHI win + ATL loss or tie + ARI loss + LAR loss or tie
3. PHI win + ATL loss or tie + ARI loss + DET win or tie
4. PHI win + TB loss or tie + SEA-ARI tie
5. PHI win + TB loss or tie + ARI loss + LAR loss or tie
6. PHI win + TB loss or tie + ARI loss + DET win or tie
7. PHI tie + ATL loss + SEA-ARI tie
8. PHI tie + ATL loss + ARI loss + LAR loss or tie
9. PHI tie + TB loss + SEA-ARI tie
10. PHI tie + TB loss + ARI loss + LAR loss or tie
When the Eagles eventually punch their ticket into the postseason, this week or not, it’ll be their fourth straight playoff appearance under head coach Nick Sirianni and it’ll be their seventh trip the the playoffs in the last eight years.
The Eagles also have a solid lead in the NFC East as they try to take back the division crown that was theirs in 2022. The Eagles finished second in the division in 2021 and 2023 and had to get into the playoffs as a wild card team. Right now, the Eagles are sitting at 10-2, while the Commanders are second in the division at 8-5.
