The Eagles will make the playoffs for the third straight season, making their sixth appearance in the last seven years.

It hasn’t gone exactly as planned for Philadelphia and its fans, especially after a painful 20-17 loss to the Seahawks that came in the last seconds with an interception by Jalen Hurts on their final play of the game.
Regardless of how they got there, the Eagles are in the hunt for the crucial stretch.

With the regular season coming to an end in just a few weeks, here’s a look at where the Eagles presently stand in the postseason picture.

The Eagles’ postseason chances
The Eagles have already qualified for the playoffs, but following their loss to the Seahawks, it’s safe to say it’s time to call it quits on clinching the top seed.

It’s the most recent loss in a three-game losing streak that has been somewhat troubling after the Eagles started the season with a strong 10-1 record. As a result, there was little doubt Philadelphia would make the postseason, but not on the expected note.

Eagles’ prospects in the playoffs
The Eagles have a 100% chance of making the playoffs after clinching a spot in Week 15 despite a loss to the Seahawks. The only question today is whether they would reach the playoffs as a wild card or as NFC East champs.

If the Eagles lose another conference game, it will be their fourth such loss in the 2023 season. If the Cowboys are defeated for the fourth time by the Dolphins, they will face a tiebreaker.
