Eagles' Division Title All But Certain as NFC East Rivals Struggle.
The Philadelphia Eagles' grip on the top seed in the NFC is tightening by the week, and their path to an NFC East title is becoming increasingly clear. As of Week 12, a victory over the Dallas Cowboys would effectively put the division on lock for the Birds.
While the Los Angeles Rams, who share the same record as the Eagles, pose a threat, they are still not in the same stratosphere. The Eagles' head-to-head advantage over the Rams remains an integral factor in their quest for the top spot.
In other NFC East news, the Washington Commanders are on bye this week, while the New York Giants have been struggling to find consistency, with a record of 2-9 and a draft position that will become increasingly murky as the season wears on. The Dallas Cowboys are still clinging to playoff hopes, but their division title aspirations seem all but extinguished.
The NFC playoff picture is also becoming clearer, with several teams vying for a spot in the postseason. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one of those contenders, but their chances are being impacted by the Rams' performance.
As Week 12 approaches, the Seahawks and Bears are still within striking distance of the Eagles in the NFC standings. However, it's increasingly difficult to see either team surpassing Philadelphia without a few more upsets.
For the rest of the league, several games stand out as crucial to the Eagles' division title aspirations. The Giants-Lions matchup will do little for either side, while the Panthers-49ers game is an ideal opportunity for whoever emerges victorious to face the Eagles in the playoffs.
As the regular season wears on, several teams are jockeying for position in the draft order. The Jets-Ravens game is a key one, with the Eagles' third-round pick hanging precariously in the balance. A loss by the Jets would make the Eagles' pick an attractive asset.
Overall, while there's still plenty of football to be played, the Eagles are well-positioned for another division title, and their path to the top seed is becoming increasingly clear.
