The Eagles and Saints are prepping for an important Week 17 matchup at Lincoln Financial Field.
If Philadelphia (13-2) can get the win, they’ll secure the division and clinch home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs.
Handing New Orleans another loss would drop them to 6-10 on the season, improving their draft positioning as well for a pick that belongs to Philadelphia. As it stands, the Eagles (by way of the Saints) have the 10th pick in the NFL Draft, courtesy of a blockbuster pre-draft trade in April.
