From the moment Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni decided to rest the starters in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders, there were a lot of fans who disagreed with the call. Those doubters' voices got a lot louder after the final results.
The Eagles lost 24-17 to the Commanders, but got help from the Detroit Lions, who beat the Chicago Bears on a last-second field goal, 19-16. An Eagles win would have given them the number-two seed, but instead, they are preparing to play the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round of the NFC playoffs.
