The outcome of today’s Philadelphia Eagles game doesn’t really matter for them or the Dallas Cowboys. It’s a relatively meaningless game.
Despite that fact, I still think Eagles fans should want to see their team win. Moreso than in a “normal” Week 17 game that doesn’t matter.
By winning on Sunday, the 2017 Eagles will become the first team in franchise history to win 14 games. They’ll also finish the season undefeated at Lincoln Financial Field (8-0) and undefeated against NFC East rivals (6-0). It’d be cool to be able to look back on this season and be able to say those things.
