The Philadelphia Eagles are on the brink of clinching the NFC East and the No. 2 playoff seed with a win against the Washington Commanders. However, securing the top playoff seed is more complex, as they are tied with the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings.
For the Eagles to claim the No. 1 seed, they must finish with a better record than either team, which is feasible given their upcoming opponents. The Commanders, meanwhile, have a slim chance to overtake the Eagles, requiring multiple wins and losses for Philadelphia.
In the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs are poised to clinch the No. 1 seed with a Buffalo Bills loss. The playoff picture is becoming clearer, with several teams fighting for their postseason lives as the regular season nears its conclusion.
