The Philadelphia Eagles can still secure the top seed in the playoffs despite their loss to Dallas on Sunday. They can even punch their postseason ticket before they play on Monday night.
The easiest route for the Birds is to simply defeat the Seahawks on Monday Night Football (8:15 p.m. on 6abc), according to the NFL’s playoff scenarios.
The Birds might be able to enter before the game, but they’ll require assistance.
The following nine situations would result in the Eagles visiting the postseason for the third time in a row:
1. PHI win or tie
2. GB loss + ATL loss or tie + LAR loss or tie
3. GB loss + ATL loss or tie + SF win or tie + DET win
4. TB loss + MIN loss or tie + LAR loss or tie
5. TB loss + MIN loss or tie + SF win or tie + DET win
6. MIN loss or tie + ATL loss or tie + LAR loss or tie
7. MIN loss or tie + ATL loss or tie + SF win or tie + DET win
8. TB-GB tie + LAR loss or tie OR
9. TB-GB tie + SF win or tie + DET win
