NFL, Eagles and and Week 16
Digest more
In 2023, after the Eagles dropped three straight December games, their season spiraled out of control. They lost two of their final three regular-season games and were blown out by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs.
The Eagles are 9-5, losers and back into the winners' circle after a 31-0 shutout win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon. Philadelphia still has two NFC East contests remaining, but a Dallas loss to Minnesota would all but wrap up back-to-back division titles.
If Monday's loss to the Chargers was truly rock bottom for the Eagles, recent history suggests that could be a positive for them.
