The top of the NFC is the place to be on Sunday afternoon of week 16 of the NFL season. The Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings are all 12-2 and battling for the No. 1 seed as the playoffs quickly approach. The Lions are now in the driver’s seat and shaping their own destiny, but any mistake means the Eagles will have a crack at that all-important first round. Philly will be tested Sunday in Washington against a 9-5 Commanders team that is trying to develop a rhythm as it goes. They have won their last two games but looked shaky in a one-point win over the Saints last week. The Eagles take the NFC East division title with a win, while the Commanders clinch a playoff spot with a win on Sunday, losing to the Falcons and Rams or Falcons and Seahawks.
The Lions can hold onto that top spot in the NFC with a win over the Bears in the early period, while Minnesota takes on Seattle in the late period.
