A considerable debate around Philadelphia in Week 18 was whether Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni made the right decision in resting the starters against the Washington Commanders.
It had significant playoff implications: the Eagles lost to the Commanders 24-17, but Philly needed the Chicago Bears to lose to the Detroit Lions to have any shot at the NFC's number-two seed. The Bears did, and the Eagles clinched the number-two seed. That actually happened as the Lions won on a last-second field goal, 19-16, which means the Eagles missed out on moving up in the playoffs and now have to host the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card as the third seed.
