Eagles playoff scenarios: How Philadelphia can clinch the NFC East in Week 15

Last Sunday, the Eagles clinched a fourth straight playoff berth with their win over the Panthers and the Cardinals’ loss to the Seahawks.

Week 15 is upon us, and Philadelphia can clinch the NFC East with a victory over Pittsburgh and a Washington loss to the Saints (5-8).

Philadelphia clinches NFC East division title with:

PHI win + WAS loss or tie
PHI tie + WAS loss

The Lions (12-1) and Eagles (11-2) have clinched playoff berths, leaving five other spots for eight other teams. Minnesota and Green Bay are all but guaranteed to make the NFC postseason, while Seattle and Tampa are leading their divisions.

Philadelphia will finish with Pittsburgh, Washington, Dallas, and the New York Giants and would need Detroit to lose two games to potentially lock down the No. 1 seed. The Eagles need to win out to stay within striking distance of the Lions.
