The Philadelphia Eagles typically aren’t pleased to see the Dallas Cowboys win ... but Saturday night was a rare exception.
By defeating the Detroit Lions, the Cowboys put the Eagles one step closer to finishing as a top two seed in the NFC playoff picture.
If the Eagles beat the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and the New York Giants in Week 18, they will be the No. 2 seed at worst.
The Birds still have a chance at the No. 1 seed. They’ll earn a first-round bye if they win out AND the San Francisco 49ers lose to either the Washington Commanders in Week 17 or the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18.
