On Sunday morning, the Philadelphia Eagles had the best record in the NFL. By late Sunday night, following their 33-13 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, they found themselves in fifth place in the NFC playoff order, where the Eagles, Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers all stand at 10-3.

With four games remaining, the 49ers -- who beat the Cowboys and Eagles by a combined 84-29 this season -- hold the top spot in the NFC, which would earn them the only conference bye.
