The Philadelphia Eagles have already clinched a playoff spot with a win over the Carolina Panthersand on Sunday they can clinch the NFC East division title.
The Eagles can win the division on Sunday if one of the two scenarios below comes to fruition:
- Eagles win against Pittsburgh Steelers and lose or draw against Washington Commanders
- Eagles tie against Steelers and loss to Commanders
The Eagles haven’t won the NFC East since the 2022 season during the team’s Super Bowl run, when they finally came up short against former Birds head coach Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs.
If the Eagles lock up the division on Sunday, it would continue the trend of the NFC East not having a repeat winner for the 20th straight season.

The NFC East has not had a repeat winner since the Eagles won the division four years in a row, from 2001 to 2004. Since the 2005 season, the division has had a different team take the top spot each season.
Last season, the Dallas Cowboys won the NFC East with a 12-5 record, but lost to the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs.
The Eagles are still alive for the No. 1 seed in the NFC and trail the Detroit Lions, but Philadelphia will most likely be the No. 2 seed in the conference in the playoffs.
