After defeating the Rams Sunday night, the Eagles (9-2) next game is against the Baltimore Ravens (7-4) in Week 13.
// Pinned The Eagles kept pace with the Detroit Lions Sunday in the race for the NFC’s top playoff spot. Right now, the Lions are up one game over the Rams with six to play. But the Birds’ victory against the Rams was important if both teams end the season with the same record. NFC playoff picture The Eagles and Lions don’t play one another this season, so the next tiebreaker would be their record against NFC teams.
Regardless, the odds remain stacked against the Eagles overtaking the Lions. Even after Sunday’s win, the Birds have just an 18% chance of landing the NFC’s top seed, according to the New York Times’ playoff simulator. The Lions do have a difficult schedule remaining, with games against the Packers, Buffalo Bills , and Minnesota Vikings . As the Eagles showed with their late-season collapse last season, anything can happen.
